Today, and tomorrow, May 17 & 18, 2008, is the 14th Annual Muckenthaler Motor Car Festival, held at the Muckenthaler Cultural Center at 1201 W. Malvern in Fullerton. Today is the Hot Rods and Customs event and tomorrow brings the annual Concours d’Elegance. There are over 200 cars at this year’s show ranging from 1929 Ford Model Ts to 2003 Aston Martin Vanquishes.
On Sunday there is also a motorcycle class and class for Horseless Carriages from 1911 and 1915. This event supports many of the important programs held at the Muckenthaler Center including school tours, art programs and outreach efforts. Today’s entrants will be judged and awards provided for Best of Show, Best Paint, Best Interior, Best Engine, etc. Last year’s Best of Show winner was a 1929 Chrysler Model 65 owned by Robert Kehoe. It looks like there will be plenty of competition for this year’s award. Sunday’s event includes some of the most elegant and classy cars ever made.
Last year’s Pre-War Best of Show was a 1935 Delahaye 135 Competition owned by Ken Smith. Take advantage of the beautiful Fullerton weather and come on down.
