Classic rides, live music, and community spirit shine despite rain

Story and Photos by Neil Farrell

Hundreds of car enthusiasts turned out Nov. 2 for the 33rd Annual Cayucos Car Show. And while patchy clouds and even a spat of light rain greeted the 300 classic and antique car owners, it didn’t dampen their spirits. Local band The Murder Hornets played rock ‘n’ roll, and the cars that turned out were a wide variety of old favorite muscle cars, sports cars — British and U.S. made — a fantastically restored 1957 Chevy short bus, several Woody Wagons and custom Nomad Wagons, and what seemed like an above-normal fleet of customized VW Beetles.
