The Ahwatukee Car Show

The Goodman Taylor Team & Precision Auto Body Presents The Ahwatukee Car Show, a charity even benefitting hope for the homeless. What a great car show! I feasted my eyes on a spectacular display of over six hundred classic, vintage, and modern cars. This show was so huge; there was something for everyone, from sleek sports cars to powerful muscle cars, rat rods, and everything in between!

East Valley Cruisers Friday Cruise-In • November 15, 2024

Today, I posted over sixty-five awesome pictures of everything from old street rods and classics. If you’ve been following my car show posts, you may have seen a few of these cars already, but there are plenty of new vehicles to see since the Valley is robust in cars with no shortage of stunning examples of every variety.

Queen Creek Cars & Coffee

I must have heard it a dozen times, maybe more if I heard it once. “You gotta check out the QUEEN CREEK Cars and Coffee car show.” I was told it was the most prominent car show in the valley, and from what I could tell, my intel was spot on. This show was HUGE! While I shot hundreds of photos during my three hours there, there was no way to catch them all.

Gilbert Cars & Coffee, Gilbert, AZ

The Gilbert Cars & Coffee was probably the most diverse car show I’ve been to in a long while, maybe ever. Vehicles of every design were on hand at the Famous 66 American Tavern, 1026 S. Gilbert Rd. in Gilbert, AZ. It doesn’t matter what you like; it was there — hot rods, rat rods, bugs, sports cars, and a few Hummer military rigs.

East Valley Cruisers Friday Cruise-In • October 25, 2024

I first visited the East Valley Cruisers Cruise-In just two weeks ago. It was only their second weekend of the season, and the previous Friday was drenched in rain, so that was a no-go for me. However, my first experience with their club on October 11th proved worthwhile, even though the temperatures were still over a hundred degrees. I was told the cars and crowds would grow as the season cooled, so I remained optimistic. Today, my optimism paid off.

East Valley Cruisers Friday Cruise-In • October 11, 2024

I’ve been looking forward to catching the East Valley Cruisers Car Club‘s weekly car show. Having visited a couple of local car shows recently, I get asked a lot if I’ve checked out the gathering in East Mesa, Arizona. A collection of vehicles from club members around the East Valley gathers on Friday afternoons from October to May from 2 PM to 6 PM at the old Bashas location at Signal Butte and Main Street in Mesa. Last week marked their first event of the season.

1st Annual Superstition Classics 2024 (Car Show)

Last weekend, I attended a fantastic car show in Apache Junction (my second for the season) at the VFW Post 9399. I shared with the local car crowd that I was taking pictures for a blog post I shared earlier this week. During my few hours at the VFW’s 1st Annual Car & Motorcycle Show, I was asked several times if I was planning to visit the upcoming 1st Annual Superstition Classics in Gold Canyon.

Charity Car Show

With Summer nearly over and Autumn upon us, it’s car show season in the Phoenix Valley. To some degree, I may be exaggerating a bit regarding the season. Technically, the Autumnal Equinox was about a week ago, on September 22, but Arizona is still experiencing Summer heat, with today’s temps hitting 112 degrees. The Mesa Market Place provided an excellent venue to escape the heat with its covered public zones and soothing water misters, while enjoying the cars and chatting with fellow enthusiasts.
