Carpinteria’s charity car show blooms again this year

Although Covid killed many shows, we’re now seeing the resurrection of the ones that won the fight. And boy, did they!

With renewed vigor, these shows are coming back in full force. This particular show, RODS N’ ROSES in Carpinteria, is one of those killer events that hits on all cylinders. The fantastic location on Linden in Downtown Carp gives the show that small town, community feel, with the ocean breeze swaying in from every corner. No Food Trucks means they want the local restaurants to flourish. The vibe was stellar. People were grateful to be out and enjoying the 72 degree breeze.

Some incredible examples of Detroit steel and a few surprises made the show worthy of a day’s walk and an hour’s drive for sure. A definite must for SoCal enthusiasts on the hunt for the best. Recommended are Pizza Man Dans, a Little Mermaid Store, and a Vintage Record Store sporting Classic LPs, Cassettes, and 8-Tracks.
