Old Cars. New Year.

January. And the first 2026 gathering of the monthly San Francisco Ocean Beach car lovers.

Vintage Chrysler Imperial. About a cityblock long, and only 2 doors.

You never know what will roll into these gatherings. Here's a classic Rolls Royce convertible.

Early 1960's Ford Falcon. Tribute vehicle, or actual restored vintage race car?

Under the hood of a classic mid-1960's Pontiac GTO. The first American muscle car?

Modified classic Chevy Nova, complete with air intake "snorkel."

Bigger wheels mean a shorter shoulder height on the tires.

The owner narrowed the rear axle to fit these enormous tires within the factory wheel wells. That's a serious modification.

Not much room left in the trunk of this hydraulics-equipped lowrider.

I've seen this trailered ratrod before, but I'm always spotting new details. Like the white porecelain water faucet handle on the shifter. (Shown below) See you next month!
