So, if you have one of these beautiful cars please enter it now- or tell your friends that have one. And of course, we want ALL types of cars, from muscle, retromod, exotics and all types of classic and special cars, like yours! Please mark this date in your calendar and plan on entering your car.
For classic and exotic car owners and fans our Orinda show is a uniquely fun and exhilarating experience. The show is always FREE to spectators, and proceeds benefit the OA’s programs including Seniors Around Town (SAT) free seniors ride program. And for those less captivated by cars, please still come check it out – just have fun AND support worthy causes at the same time.
