Ruby’s Classic Car Show
Friday, April to October
Local star surfer Shawn O’Brien pulls out his moonlight white 1959 Chevy wagon out of the garage into the driveway. After wiping it down, he buckles up his son and his daughter, ages six and three, onto the emerald green tuck and roll backseat.
“I’ve been going to the Ruby’s show since I was a kid in my first classic car, a ‘55 Chevy wagon,” O’Brien said. “Now I get to share it with my kids.”
In the Ruby’s Diner parking lot, O’Brien walks with his family through the aisles of classic cars, hot rods, street rods, and muscles. Heard over the loudspeakers is the soundtrack to “American Graffiti.”
“It’s grown so much over the years and is an important weekly event to the local car scene,” he said. “It’s cool to see the same car
s and what work’s been done to them as well as other rides from all over South California.” 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.
