On Sunday I attended the Saratoga Classic Car Show in beautiful downtown Saratoga, Ca. Now in its 5th year running, thousands of car lovers flock to this historic strip of Big Basin Way. Â Two-hundred cars line the street with music, vendors, shopping and plenty of fun for families. Despite its huge following I had never heard of this show happening in my own backyard until a friend sent me the flyer. I thought it would be cool to represent Japanese classic cars with the Datsun Roadster so I signed up and enjoyed the day with family.
I’m a huge fan of muscle cars and Hot Rods so this show was a refreshing break from the J-tin that is close to my heart 🙂 Here are some of my favorites:
From Ford: Â “Bullit-esque” Mustang and Pro-Touring Shelby fastback:
This Thunderbird had a wicked stance and Halibrand-style wheels:
From Chevrolet: Pro-Touring ’57, trackday Camaro, C1 ‘Vette, Yenko tribute and mean Chevelle:
The roadster was well-received and I spotted a very clean S30 down the street! Maybe next year we can bring more JDM flair to the show!
Speaking of roadsters, there was a large contingent of English droptops including this absolutely bonkers turbocharged Sunbeam Alpine:
Sporting some sweet vintage Enkei 92 meshies with sticky Re-11s this DE-prepped beast even had a “TIGR ETR” plate! Â Below: very clean MGA, Tiger and E-type:
I thought I was out of place with the Datsun and then I saw this beautiful ’68 Audi 100…on bags!
Such pretty lines it reminded me of BMW’s famous E9 chassis. The Rotiform wheels were perfect:
I was in Torq-Thrust and vintage wheel heaven. Some of my favorites. I love flat caps on these:
