The 10th Annual Lewiston California Car Show

Like many of you, I didn’t know there was a Lewiston, California. But, if you go 26 miles miles west of Redding on Highway 299 and then north 4 miles on Trinity Dam Blvd, there it is. It’s not too far from Weaverville. I took Hwy 299 from Eureka to Redding once about 20 years ago in a truck, and after that, I decided to stay in the valley. It is one long and winding road.

For the last 19 years they have held an Old Lewiston Peddler’s Faire in the historic downtown area and for the last 10 years they added a car show. Most of the races and car shows last weekend in Northern California were postponed due to the weather conditions but not the dedicated car guys in Lewiston. They held their show and got a little wet but according to Jim Matthews from the Shasta Classics Car Club in Redding, they had a great time. He was even kind enough to share some pictures of the award winners with their cars.

Lewiston Car Show — What a beautiful setting for a Car Show!

What is your favorite Northern California Car Event?

We are lucky in Northern California to be close to so many kinds of entertainment and recreational opportunities. The mountains, the desert, rivers and the Pacific Ocean are within a few hours. We have historic race tracks where some of motorsports best drivers have competed. But, we also have great car shows and events.

The Concours in Pebble Beach is world famous. The Sacramento Autorama is “The Kustom Capital of the World” and one of the longest running indoor car shows in the world. Hot August Nights has grown and claims attendance of over 800,000 people during the week. The Good-Guys shows in Pleasanton are famous across the country and the Turlock Swap Meet and Kool April Nites are attended by people from all over the Western U.S. So, I thought an interesting question would be what is your favorite car event, which show is the one you look forward to the most? Please participate in our poll and feel free to write in an event if your favorite is not listed. At the end of the month we will examine the results. Any predictions?
