Aerial view of Friday’s Show’n Shine Photo credit, Gasquet Mike Sea Cruise weekend closed the 2024 Benefit Car Show season in impressive style across the Northwest; and it was a most fitting closing. Mother Nature could not have been more cooperative both for the Show’n Shine Friday afternoon on Third Street and the all- day Sea Cruise Car Show Saturday at Beachfront Park. The Indian Summer weekend was wonderfully mid-60’s comfortable Del Norte weather. As folks say, “it was A Chamber of Commerce Day.”Organized and presented by the Northern Knights Car Club and the Crescent City Chamber of Commerce, the event welcomed 257 exotic cars, trucks and motorcycles, from antiques to classics and hot rods to rat rods, nostalgia abounded in the magnificent weather.#placement_573654_0_i{width:100%;max-width:550px;margin:0 auto;}var rnd = window.rnd || Math.floor(Math.random()*10e6);var pid573654 = window.pid573654 || rnd;var plc573654 = window.plc573654 || 0;var abkw = window.abkw || '';var absrc = 'https://ads.empowerlocal.co/adserve/;ID=181918;size=0x0;setID=573654;type=js;sw='+screen.width+';sh='+screen.height+';spr='+window.devicePixelRatio+';kw='+abkw+';pid='+pid573654+';place='+(plc573654++)+';rnd='+rnd+';click=CLICK_MACRO_PLACEHOLDER';var _absrc = absrc.split("type=js"); absrc = _absrc[0] + 'type=js;referrer=' + encodeURIComponent(document.location.href) + _absrc[1];document.write('');The Best of Show and The Best Paint was awarded to the Billinger Family of Bayside.
