If automotive luxury and good food are your thing you won’t want to miss LOCC’s best fall event on Oct. 5, the annual Big 4 American Luxury Brand Car Show and Potluck Picnic. Long range weather forecasts predict perfect California sunshine and temps in the 70s to help our beauties shine.

But signups for this great event that once seemed so far away end in less than a week on Sept.30.

This year the show promises even more excitement. Members of the Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA) will be joining us with their elegant classics in addition to our gorgeous collector Lincolns, Cadillacs, Imperials and Packards.

There are no years restrictions for the Big 4 Picnic so if your heart is with your new Lincoln Corsair or Nautilus, Cadillac XT6, or LYRIQ bring it along to display with the classics of bygone years.

This year SoCal Imperial Owners, Inc. (SCIOI) Club is the primary sponsor, in conjunction with the SoCal Cadillac & LaSalle Club, the Lincoln & Continental Owners Club, the Earle C. Anthony Packard Club, and AACA SoCal Club.
