The Schedule:

10 a.m.- OPTIONAL – Depart Denny’s in Sylmar (12861 Encinitas Ave, Sylmar, CA 91342) to caravan together in to Santa Paula.  Denny’s is right off the Roxford exit of I-5 with easy access to return to the freeway.  If you want to eat, arrive earlier, we will be leaving for Santa Paula at 10AM sharp. 

11 a.m. – Arrive Collector Car Vault (18201 E Telegraph Rd., Santa Paula, CA 93060).  The Collector Car Vault will have approximately 120 cars we can view up close, not all cars being stored there will be viewable.  We will hear from automotive historian John Nikas, who will deliver an informative presentation tailored to Packards, Hudsons, and other independent makes.  After the talk, John will take us on a tour of the facility before we depart for lunch.

12:55 p.m. – Depart for Lunch at Rabalais’ Bistro – 861 E Main St., Santa Paula, CA 93060 at the corner of Davis & Main).  Lunch is at your own cost, and due to the size of our group, it’s almost assured we’ll need to be split up throughout the restaurant.

The annual car show and BBQ sponsored by the Southern California Imperial Owners Inc. is the traditional first car event of the year for LCOC. Our cars and members have always been welcome at this Palm Springs post-New Year’s event, where fine weather, great people and good food have always been the norm.  Save the date and check back here often for details and contact information. We will add the info as as soon as it is available.

Following an LCOC Western Region tradition our club will hold its annual pre-Valentine’s Day Kickoff Car Show and Brunch on Sunday Feb 9.  Once again the LCOC Western Region is teaming up with the Cadillac and LaSalle Club to sponsor the event at the Lakewood Country Club in Lakewood, CA. Here’s your chance to break bread with your friends from LCOC while making new ones from the Cadillac and LaSalle Club.

The day will begin at 9 a.m. with tire kicking and socializing at the country club prior to a fantastic buffet brunch and a presentation by LCOC’s own Bazil LaRoche.  Bazil and his partner Russell Harmon are among the newest of LCOC Western Region members.  Despite their youth, both are enthusiastic and knowledgeable about our favorite hobby and are hands on, doing their own work on on several vintage cars, including Lincolns. You won’t want to miss Bazil’s program following the buffet.

Last year’s event was a success despite the threat of rain with many Lincoln and Cadillac owners bringing their classic cars for show. Fortunately, they got the car show completed, windows closed and convertible tops raised before the rains came.   For 2020 we can only hope that Mother Nature will smile with brilliant sunshine on our efforts.  Please plan to be there for good food and good fun.

The is no charge for your vehicle at the car show but the buffet is $45 per person. For more information and to RSVP for the brunch contact Betsy Davenport at socaldavenports@gmail.com
