The show organizers are looking for any traditional custom cars that use visible parts up to 1952. The rules are strict, and no exceptions are made to make sure this will be an event that looks and feels like it could have been held in 1952. We at the Custom Car Chronicle are really looking forward to see this show take place in California, the place where it all begun. Hopefully the show will feature many new period styled as well as original vintage restored and non restored Customs.

  • Great to see this show expanding but it kind of throws a monkey wrench into my plans.
    My custom was pre – registered for the Jersey show that was originally planned for Oct. I don’t think that I will have it done by June though.
    Maybe a road trip to the west coast is in order…

  • Why 1952 as a cut-off year for styling? There are a lot of great ideas that came about as late as 1954 that would still carry the early ’50s kustom look…1955 and later is when things really shifted toward paint jobs and different restyling ideas. It’s wonderful to see the show reach the west coast and I am excited to see what Sondre and Olav have in store…but perhaps opening the horizons to a little bit later than 1952 would allow for more great cars.

  • gause that leaves a lot of us out and i mean lots of us, but its ok no problem they do there thing we do ours,
