The District Weekly: KUSTOMS ON THE ROAD BACK TO DOWNTOWN

  • Mike Ruehle · 3 months ago
    How does this differ from the Seal Beach and Belmont Shore car shows? Are these the same cars that show up at each show?
  • Theo Douglas · 3 months ago
    Mike, as I understand it, this one's perhaps a bit more focused on the history of customs and hot rods. That's why you have Larry Watson's original '58 T-bird--and, I would imagine, Watson himself. And Dean Jeffries, Frank DeRosa, and even longtime Paramount customizer Bill Hines.

    And maybe even Gene Winfield?

    Winfield would be awesome. He's a really nice guy too; I still see him at swapmeets pretty regularly. (And he brings good stuff to sell!)

    Have you been to any of his shindigs out at his shop in Mojave? If not, you really need to get your butt out to one! If you've got nothin' better to do, there's one goin' on this coming Sunday!

    His shop in in Mojove on the 14 just south of the 28.

    Ten bucks per car. Very low key and lots of fun.

    i have a question...

    let's say i want to put on a festival of some sort down at the marina/shoreline, where would i start??? who do i talk to so i can get the ball rolling?

    it would be an annual event that we used to have but then an unscrupulous "nonprofit" took over and ruined it.

    This quarter's issue of the RoddersJournal has a good article about Dean Jeffries.

    The Journal references Long Beach on a regular basis as well.
