Imperial Club Invites LCOC and their Classics to Jan. 11 Car Show & BBQ; Sign Up Before Jan. 3


Ring in the new year right at the traditional Palm Springs mega car club event Saturday, January 11, 2025 – from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Sponsored by the Southern California Imperial Owners, Inc., this long-running show and lunch kicks off a new year of great car events! Once again the Imperial Club has extended a warm welcome to more than six car clubs and their members to share in the fun at one of the best joint events in the Coachella Valley.

You’ll greet old friends and make new ones while viewing multiple car collections and enjoying the very popular BBQ at the Valdivia complex in Palm Springs – same as last year. Exact address available once you RSVP. Palm Springs in January has very temperate weather, and the chance of rain is slim.

Stu will reply to your email confirming your reservation. Please follow-up if you do not receive an email response within 7 days of your RSVP email request.

All classic vehicles are welcome, and we hope you bring yours for everyone to ogle over. Admission cost is $20.00/person, payable at the event (to cover doughnuts, coffee, water, tables, chairs, etc.). This is SoCal Imperial Club’s main fund-raising event, so please come, enjoy, and help support our club.

Lunch will be a delicious BBQ meal, catered by our one and only Lynn Hammond (Caterer to the stars!). For a separate $20 per person, payable in advance directly to Lynn via Zelle, the tantalizing menu includes a) Burgers [meat and meatless], b) Condiments, c) Watermelon, d) Baked beans, e) Mac n cheese, f) Green salad, g) Cookies, and h) Drinks. Please Zelle $20/person to Lynn at 760.641.6629, no later than Friday, January 3, 2025. In the Zelle payment description, state “SCIOI BBQ Jan. 11th + the number in your party + the primary contact’s name.”

Several private garages where Great Autos members store their classic cars will be open for touring these collections, as well as all the fabulous cars that’ll be driven to the event. In 2024, there were 70 cars driven/displayed! SCIOI is inviting other local car clubs, such as Great Autos, LCOC, Cadillac/La Salle and AACA. Although hosted by the SoCal Imperial Club, you do not have to be a member to participate.

SCIOI Members – Items to bring: Your Club Name Badge, Folding Chair, and an appetite.
HURRY! – RSVP is required in advance, by JANUARY 3.
