Glad to see that the HCCA has advanced a few years.

I haven't heard of HCCA here in the far north for twenty something years, we used to have the Horseless Carriage Club of Fairbanks years ago, however it became a AACA Club during the '90 or so.

Do you have a pre-1916 Vehicle? I always thought that it was cool, but I was into Model A's.

You gotta love the internet when someone from Alaska can tell me what's happening in my own back yard. Thanks so much.

This is a great show even if you go as a spectator.

My earliest is a '26.

rogeroadster,

I am a past VP of the local HCCA, my oldest is a 1926 Chevrolet Touring, completely unrestored, or worse, I have not even had it running. I traded my '25 Studebaker for the '30 Phaeton I have now. I used to be quite active in the Horseless Carriage Club many years ago, so it was kind of cool to look up what they were up to these days. I knew the original founders of the HCCA here back then and always enjoyed the older/oldest cars and their owners. Had to have 5 members owned pre-'16 cars to start a club.

I plan on attending again this year. It is a great show in the parking lot before heading out on the tour. The tour takes you through some unbelievable neighborhoods in Pasadena and San Marino. I highly recommend this free event to anyone in the area that can make it.

My wife and I went in her 1930 Chrysler 77 coupe last year. we wont be able to make it this year as we moved to Oregon. It was one of my favorite shows.

I got home a couple of hours ago from the 2013 Holiday Motor Excursion in Pasadena, CA. It was an unbelievable time, as always and the weather could not have been nicer this year at about 76 degrees today. Here are some pictures of the almost 300 cars.

What is this automobile? It is certainly impressive.

J Franklin, I believe that is a Bentley Speed Six, sitting next to a 3.5 Liter Bentley!
And, My Model A's yesterday after cleaning them before the Excursion.

Thanks for posting the great photos. The one thing I miss the most about living in LA is the Holiday Motor Excursion. This has been a landmark event for several decades now and seems to keep getting better with age.
