Honda Wraps up 2018 at JCCS
The Japanese Classic Car Show is the biggest little auto event in SoCal and pretty much the last event on Honda's annual schedule. Before 2018 is too far away from us, we wanted to share some photos from the event. Coverage courtesy of Super Street.
A trip through time
At the annual Japanese Classic Car Show, there have always been Hondas representing but over its fifteen-year lifespan, that number has grown steadily. This year the show took up residence in a new location which is where WekFest has usually been held on Shoreline Drive in Long Beach, CA.
In the end, the single-day event drew over 10K people, who got to see a turbo rotary-powered Mazda RX2, original-family-owner Toyota Tercel SR5 4×4 wagon, RHD Datsun 510, and more! In its fifteen years, the annual Japanese Classic Car Show has become a destination for kyu-sha (enthusiasts of vintage Japanese-cars) to debut something new, something fresh. Maybe Barbra Streisand was onto something when she sang about the way we were. Click on the link and listen as you scroll through these slides.
More time for more cars
In an effort to widen the scope of vehicles that could show up at the event, and to bolster attendance the 1985 cut-off rule was eliminated. That line in the sand has been pushed up another decade to 1995. Moving that cap up means that cars like the EF/ED and EG/EH Civic, Del Sols, more Accords and DC Integras.

It's... interesting
The organization of the vehicles at the show make it easy to find things and spend some quality time with your favorite make and model. This 1971 Honda Vamos is an example of how you can find special vehicles at events like this. The Vamos has an air cooled 354 cc two-cylinder engine that is mounted mid-way like a modern supercar is.

It was all so simple then
This CRX is indicative of the style that was popular back in Southern California in the early years of the '90s. Back then all you really needed was a nice set of wheels, a decent stereo, and a good drop to really set your car off. For those who wanted to add some performance to their car, there was always a good exhaust system and a new intake to help things breathe.

The Yin and Yang
These DC2s stand out by being just so clean and amazing examples of the two sides of styles that went on in the '90s and early '00s. The white one is stock with a drop and some wheels while the black Type R has been modified up and down with a body kit and Mugen wheels.
