Check out "Cars & Coffee" at the Ford PAG (Premium Automotive Group) Campus in Irvine, CA early Saturday morning. The show goes from about 6:00AM to about 9:30AM - get there early, or you'll miss it. Lots of exotics, muscle cars, and classics.

You're one week too early - the following week, on April 24th, the "kit car show" that used to be held at Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, will be held in Pomona at the Fairplex. Then the "Fabulous Fords Forever" show will be held at at Knott's Berry Farm on the 25th. I'll be going to the "Fabulous Fords Forever" show this year - my first time for that one.

The Petersen Museum is always worth a visit - it's on Wilshire Blvd. in LA.

regards,

Jeff

Peterson is good, don't get me wrong, but if you want to see some cars go to the Nethercutt museum! Amazing Collection & they all run!

I would suggest you also attend the La Canada meet which happens every sat morning starting @ about 6:30 am.

If you're in reasonably good shape you can always hike up to the HOLLYWOOD sign. I always take friends & family up there. Always fun. It's a couple mile walk, up hill.

BMK. Where in So Cal are you staying?, what day are you leaving? I assume you will have a rental car? Are you interested mainly in car stuff, or tourist stuff? If cars. Check out www.socalcarculture.com. Good source of car activity in SoCal. LA is a big place. Let me know more details on your visit and I'll make some recommendations.
