This is the best-known show in the US for vintage Japanese cars, and it has run in Long Beach for two decades. You can walk rows of old Celicas, 240Zs, RX-7s and Civics that are rare to see in one place, many brought by the owners who restored them. The motorcycle show adds vintage Japanese bikes, and the park sits right on the harbor.
What to expect
A day-long outdoor show on the grass at Marina Green Park, with cars grouped by make, vendor booths, food, and manufacturer displays. Expect crowds of enthusiasts and plenty of owners happy to talk about their builds.
