BESPOKE ART & DESIGN
What a wonderful day it turned out to be in Queen Valley, Arizona, as we celebrated the Fire Auxiliary’s Tenth Annual Car, Truck & Bike Show. Despite the weather forecast, the sun shone brightly, and the sound of powerful revving engines filled the air. This exciting event, open to all years, makes, and models of vehicles, drew an impressive, enthusiastic turnout from locals and visitors alike.
What a great way to explore airplanes and discover all there is to offer at the Chandler Municipal Airport for the return of its community open house, Airport Day. This annual event not only showcases the latest in aviation technology but also celebrates the rich history of flight in our community. As an airplane fan, I couldn’t resist the chance to check out a variety of aviation beauties.
There could not have been a nicer day than today to get out, reconnect with the vibrant local car community, and take a stroll to check out the stunning display of local iron and chrome against a beautiful, expansive blue sky. It was one of those perfect days that remind you why you love being part of this passionate community.
Well, it’s been quite some time since I last posted about a car show, but today felt like the perfect opportunity to get out and reconnect with the local car community that I’ve missed so much. It’s incredible how these events bring together enthusiasts from all walks of life, and I was eager to immerse myself in that vibrant atmosphere again.
You couldn’t ask for a more beautiful day in Phoenix to check out the local cars, trucks, and enjoy live music. The sky was clear, and the chrome shone with a pristine luster, brightening the day all the more, making it a perfect opportunity to snap a few pictures. The November 8th car show was Nancy Perry’s second appearance at the American Italian Club, located at 7509 N. 12th St., Phoenix, Arizona, which took place from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM. With dozens of cool cars on display, there was no shortage of stunning eye candy, including street rods, muscle cars, sports cars, race cars, and classics.
This past weekend, the fourth annual Concours at Wynn Las Vegas, presented by Richard Mille, returned to Wynn Golf Club with its largest showcase to date. Last year’s event attracted thousands of attendees, and this year, expectations were even higher as the Concours continues to grow in popularity. From Thursday, October 30, through Sunday, November 2, the premier automotive event of the year brought together an extraordinary collection of vehicle debuts and curated displays from luxury and performance brands.
The Texas Roadhouse hosted a car show on Saturday from 11 AM to 3 PM at 8510 S. Emerald Dr. in Tempe, AZ. While it was a relatively small show compared to most in the valley, there were some notable cars, including a few AC Cobras, classic Mustang Mach 1s, and late 60s Camaros, as well as a nice blue Corvette C3 Stingray. As always, I enjoy chatting with fellow car enthusiasts and snapping off a few pics to share the experience.
Yesterday’s Vintage Aircraft & Custom Car Show at the Commemorative Air Force Museum was one of the best car shows I’ve been to in a while. Presented by Southwest Street Rods, the show featured cool custom rods, antique aircraft & WWII war birds, food trucks, and a great crowd. As with many car shows, this one was a benefit for a charity organization, this time for MAM (Military Assistance Mission), which provided financial and morale support to our current Arizona military, their families, and post-9/11 Purple Heart recipients.
Last week was a bust for car shows across the Phoenix/Mesa Valley. We had massive rainstorms and flooding, so needless to say, there were no car shows. So, this week I checked out Lenny’s Burger Car Show on Saturday, October 18, which is typically hosted on the second Saturday from 8 AM to 11 AM.
It was a great day for a car show, and the Gilbert Cars & Coffee 2025-2026 Season Opener hosted at the Cold Beers & Cheeseburgers did not disappoint. The last time I visited CBCB was last January, and I remember it as a fantastic show, worthy of a revisit. So, in celebration of car show season, I couldn’t resist a morning of cool cars and chrome.
Recently, I had the distinct pleasure and opportunity to attend an exciting trip to Indianapolis in support of the talented Wings & Wheels Foundation driver Aaron Jeansonne, who was competing in the prestigious Porsche Carrera Cup at the legendary and iconic Indianapolis Motor Speedway. This event not only showcased the incredible skills and determination of the drivers, but it also allowed me to immerse myself in the thrilling atmosphere of motorsport, surrounded by passionate fans and the roaring engines of high-performance racing cars.
