Nearly 200 special cars and an estimated 5,000 people descended on La Jolla on April 3 for the La Jolla Motor Car Classic, which will benefit the La Jolla Historical Society and the Monarch School. After the show, observers watched a parade of classic cars leaving La Jolla Cove’s Ellen Browning Scripps Park. The event was the seventh year for the event, which usually takes place in January but was postponed until April to avoid rain. All kinds of automobiles and other things you can drive were on display, including an 1890 Clipper High Wheeler bicycle, a 1970 Volkswagen “Hippie Bus” and a Sopwith Pup airplane, which required total disassembly for transportation to and from the event. Woodies, old-school motorbikes and British voom-vooms were also lined up, as well as German automobiles, the event’s spotlight group for this year.
