Cruisin the Grand - Escondido, CA


Friday, July 25th, 2009

Crusin' the Grand in Escondido, California was an awesome event!

With cars, trucks, and people everywhere, the good old 50's music was blaring and people were having a good time! Typically a huge event, The Grand was filled to capacity as overflowed out to the intersecting streets.

Model T's, Model A's and roadsters lined the streets. Even a green Chevy utility truck was there!
This is truly a show for all - muscle cars and classics are also welcome, as long as they are 1973 and older.

Typically an event that goes on weekly from April to October.
