The event was sponsored by the Orange County Register and by Prolong the manufacturer of car care products. The event was hosted by the historic Muckenthaler Cultural Center .

   The 1921 Muckenthaler estate was donated in 1965 to the City of Fullerton and is now dedicated to the study, exhibition and collection of multi-cultural arts, and the staging of performing arts.

   Benefits from this event are helping to support the many cultural programs of the Muckenthaler Cultural Center.

   The prestigious invitational Muckenthaler Motor Car Show was coordinated and the automobile list compiled by George Hayward.

   He composed the most eclectic collection of vintage and classic automobiles and race-cars ever displayed on the West Coast.

   The show uniquely displayed 214 cars and thirty vintage race-cars on a well manicured eight acre, National historic hilltop estate that is nestled in the historic hills of old town Fullerton in California.

   One of the highlights of this event was the thirty plus vintage and famed race-cars with their celebrity drivers. The race-cars were from the 1920's to the 1970's including Henry Ford's 1933 Indy Car.

   These cars roared down a seven-rnile course winding through the streets of old town Fullerton that terminated at the Mulkenthaler Center where they were placed on display for all to view .

   The race-cars were escorted by City of Fullerton Police Officers who volunteered their time on a beautiful Sunday afternoon.

   The awards were handed out by Marnie Capurro "Miss Prolong."  

   Best of Show was a 1951 Cadillac convertible and Best of Show Reserve was a 1965 Cobra roadster. The Muckenthaler Award went to a 1947 Franay bodied Bentley worth $2.5 million and the People's Choice Award went to a 1936 tour-door Auburn convertible owned by Art Astor. The most unique car was a 1950 Rolls Royce "Woody" specially designed for a safari vacation owned by Alan Rypinsky.

   The oldest automobile to win a first place award was a one-owner 1915 Model "T" Ford entered in the Horseless Carriage Category.

   In the European Classic Closed Category:  First Place went to a 1965 Bentley S3, Second Place to a 1967 Jaguar 420, and Third Place went to a 1950 Jaguar Mark V.

   The European Classic Open Category went to a 1956 PI900 Volvo roadster (the only Volvo on display) owned by David Hunt.

   There were eighteen categories each with first, second and third places, too many to list them all, but all were world class winners.

Congratulations to George Hayward event chairman, the event committee, event support staff, and the large cadre of judges who all volunteered their time and effort in creating this spectacular event. And to the 4,000 spectators who supported this elegant benefit agenda.

This is a must see event for next year
