I was around in 1982 and I don't remember this special edition Datsun 280Z. This factory-built 280Z had a Chevy 350 V8 installed. It's not only about horsepower, it's about horsepower-to-weight. If the engine had any kind of decent compression, it must have been very quick.

Restomod. Restored and modified with modern performance parts, like these LED headlights.



Datsun roadster, mid-1960s I believe...



The Chrome Era.


Ratrod. Not everybody's cup of tea, and that's the whole point.





This kid is trying to complete a roadside sobriety test while wearing a virtual reality headset that mimics drunkenness.










The car show ran 10am-3pm and I got there towards the end. There was still a big crowd.



Nothing subtle, or pretty, about this mid-1950s Chevy in primer grey and a solid front axle.



Not sure what was going on here...


Love the glass-like reflection in the glossy paint job.

You could have your picture taken at the wheel of this SFFD engine, or learn something about generating water pressure...










1970s Chevelle convertible. And it was certainly convertible weather this day.

The car show ended with a drum performance, lion dance, and a car parade.


Hurry up with that costume change, it's showtime!


See you next year!


Passed this building on the way out of Chinatown. Painted in traditional lucky colors of yellow, green, and red.,The Six Companies building on Stockton. Historical Role: It historically functioned as the unofficial "City Hall" or supreme governing body of Chinatown, settling internal disputes, managing community assets, and helping new arrivals navigate life in America.
