The California Car Cover Crew was on hand all weekend talking car care and of course, taking photos of the incredible vehicles on display.
A few more of the competitors for the AMBR Trophy are shown above. A killer roadster pickup from Goolsby Customs and a signature Rick Dore coachbuilt roadster.

The Suede Palace is home to some of the finest traditional rods and customs at the event. Here are some photos of just a few of them.
