All Of The Customs, Classics, and Race Cars From The Hot Rod Reunion Car Show

The Grove at the Famoso Raceway in Bakersfield, was the site for the car show during the 25th California Hot Rod Reunion. Created as a memorial to racers and people that have been influential to the sport of drag racing, the Grove was packed with everything from traditional hot rods, to survivor dragsters, to wild customs, and plenty of other types of vehicles. The show stretched past the length of the quarter mile and spilled into the swap meet at the end of the drag strip.


Notable vehicles in the show were the original unrestored Orange Crate 1932 Ford Sedan dragster, with its Potvin supercharged Oldsmobile engine, and Squeak Bell's vintage 1932 Ford sedan drag car– the two old drag cars looked as if they were separated at birth. Another notable piece of history was the wrecked display of Bill “Maverick” Golden's Little Red Wagon, which was crashed in 1975 and then preserved for future generations. See the full gambit of the show cars from the 2016 California Hot Rod Reunion in this 80-image gallery.
