Admission is F R E E for spectators and participants. “Gates” open at 11:00 A.M. for participants to get settled. No early birds please! This show is a non-judged, display-only event. All are encouraged to show, sell, or both! There is no central swap space so post up with you parts curbside around your car. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣Parts swap also open to all marques.⁣

Parking spots are first come first serve. The square block of Standard Ave, Hale St, Thompson Ave, and under the Western Bridge will be reserved for participants only. Parking for spectators on San Fernando Blvd, Allen Ave, and other surrounding neighborhood streets. There will be room for 300+ cars!⁣

We have invited some exceptional food and drink vendors as well. Don’t be shy, come hungry! BrewYard, the neighborhood brewery a few doors down, will be open for those who aren’t driving (right away) and would like to embellish their day. It’s going to be superb, don’t miss this! Seriously! ⁣

I attended the show with my 1985 300SLD. The show was awesome! J.G (owner of Mercedes Motoring) has some pretty neat cars in his building.

Here are some photos.

More photos:
There were over 100 cars in attendance. My friend Blue brought his #355 W114 Coupe, and his RHD W124 "Estate" (the car we toured Europe in 2017). There was also six "Middle Blue" TD's all parked in a row. Not very often does one see a TD this color, but we had six in a row today!!!!

Thanx for the photos Rich .

I didn't realize there were 100 cars .

This was a wonderful event, so many fine cars to look at, sadly no photos of the Mercedes ambulance Rich brought, his glittering OM617 engine was there in it's glory and drew a large crowd .

Lots of familiar faces and many I didn't know too who were warm and friendly, the low key swap meet was full of bits and bobs for everyone .

Let's do this again .

Mercedes Motoring is no longer there, so they will not be doing it again.

Well ;

You seem to have a better finger on the pulse of what's happening so mayhap some other people, venue will crop up .
