Julian Classic Motoring Show to Benefit Firefighters

The San Diego, California historic gold rush town of Julian will host its first annual "Julian Independence Celebration Classic Automobile Show" on July 3, 2004 at Julian's Menghini Winery. Select classic touring and vintage racing cars from the turn-of-the-century through the 1960s are being invited to the show. Members of the Petersen Automotive Museum and the Historic Motor Sports Association are taking part, along with special vintage automobiles and motorcycles from Southern California.

A highlight for participants will be a Saturday night "Great Gatsby Reception" at the Pine Hills Lodge. Participants and their guests will be encouraged to wear 1920's era dress, or white clothing, in the spirit of "The Great Gatsby." Participants are also invited to drive their cars in Sunday's July 4th Parade.

The public is invited to view the cars and meet with the owners at the grounds of the Menghini Winery from 10am to 4 pm on July 3rd, and also after the Julian Independence Day Parade.
