Lake Elsinore Car Show

Average guy's car show comes to Lake Elsinore

"Look for tiki carvers, pinstripe artists and a '50s-style pinup-girl contest -- the requirement is retro-classy-glamorous -- at the show on Main Street downtown.

Expect also to see dozens of American-made cars and trucks built in 1965 or earlier and American or British motorcycles made in 1969 or earlier, organizers said. No high-priced street rods or foreign or "art" cars will be allowed. All entrants must be driven, not brought in on a trailer like a queen, to the show.

The show is being put together by Desiree Eisenbarth of The Velvet Vault, an alternative clothing store on Main, and will feature "ol' school" hot rods and customs like those built in the late 1940s to the early 1960s. It is geared more toward the average guy who can work on his car but is doing it on a budget -- not the hot rodder whose car may have cost tens of thousands of dollars to buy, she said."
