If you live in Orange County or anywhere near, there is a very nice low key car show that needs to be seen. The event takes place at La Palma Park in Anaheim and makes for a very nice family outing. Spectators are free and if you have a car to show the cost is $35.00. If you pre-register you receive a tee-shirt. If you register at the gate, you don't.
The date for the 40th Annual Forty Ford Day is Sunday June 26, 2016 from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The show is sponsored by Forty Fords Limited of Orange County and generally about 250 cars show up for the event. If you think this is strictly a Ford event you are mistaken. All pre-1972 Marques are welcome and often take home one of the awards. Speaking of the awards (20 in all) they are hand made by the members and are unique to say the least. You will have to show up to see what I mean!
The cars usually start arriving by 7:00 a.m. and the park is filled by 9:30 a.m. There is a large bake sale with muffins, donuts, and coffee. Hamburgers and Hot dogs are available for lunch along with soda and water. There are two 50/50 raffles.
This is a wonderful way to spend a nice Sunday with the family. Here are a few pictures of cars that were at the show last year.
