Fountain Valley Car Show at Mile Square

Saturday June 13 the  Fountain Valley Classic Car and Truck Show is coming to Mile Square Park. This unique show has classic autos and trucks submitted by local collectors.  

 

Pete Haak, show event coordinator said it is not too late to register, however, last year nearly 100 were turned away due to space limits on the day of the show.

 

They do have room for over 300 cars this year on two beautiful newly landscaped areas adjacent all grass soccer fields. If you haven’t yet registered, you still may do so if you act quickly. Haak says the first 300 registrants will receive a free color photograph, framed in a glass of their car. ??Some of the car clubs will be placed together if they arrive sequentially. The Early Ford V8 Club will be one of those clubs. A large collection of Ford Woodies is expected. The Early Ford V-8 members should meet at Denny’s Coffee Shop at Brookhurst and Edinger at 6:30 a.m. to enter as a group.

 

The Kiwanis Club will have pancake breakfasts available at Mile Square for a modest charge in the morning.  There will also be several vendors with all kinds of wonderful lunch time foods, water, cold drinks, snacks and desserts.

 

This car show is part of a three day City of Fountain Valley annual Mile Square Park City Festival. There will be carnival rides at the park this year, so bring the kids. Live music will be featured throughout the festival as well. Additionally, there will be a real antique horse drawn steam fire engine on display. This will be an interesting event with lots of unique vehicles coming in that we don’t often get to see.

 

John Perrot is working on the finishing touches of a “new” 1934 Flathead Ford V8 Display Engine and it will very likely make its public debut at this show! The show organizers have dedicated a single car space to the display of the engine. Very few people outside of V-8 clubs and their inner circles know how interesting the real thing is until they see one up close As Henry Built It. This is an authentically assembled engine in a static display.
