4th Annual
Gualala Arts Auto Show
Saturday, July 21, 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Gualala Arts Center
If you are car enthusiasts and love the nostalgia of old cars, you'll love the Gualala Arts Auto Show.
Located on the beautifully landscaped grounds of the Gualala Arts Center, this is a car show you can actually stroll through, talk to the owners and appreciate each car, truck or motorcycle for the piece of art it is.
Best of Show in 2011 was Dave Sambad with his immaculate 1955 Chevy Bel-Air the new coveted Terrace Award went to Harry Hardin's stunning 1928 Ford Sedan hot rod.
There are eleven classes plus display only; entries include the oldies, the very creative and some great new models you might not have seen. There is even a prize for longest distance traveled as people come from all over California to enjoy the sparkling ocean drive set off by the mystery of the redwood forests. This auto show was extremely well received last year and once again street rod buffs will fill Highway 1 for the run to Gualala. The event promises to become a permanent "happening."
This free admission show opens at 10:00 a.m. for the public and closes at 4:00 p.m. Lunch will be provided for purchase on the grounds from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Beverages (wine, beer, soft) are available all day. The awards ceremony is at 3:30 p.m. There is a People's Choice award, so come prepared to cheer your choice.

Pinewood Derby
Pinewood Derby will also be featured at the Gualala Arts Auto Show. Purchase your official Boy Scouts of America car kit either from Gualala Arts or from any Scouts headquarters (Scout Shop, 1000 Apollo Way, Suite 106, Santa Rosa). It will consist of a block of pine, plastic wheels and metal axles.
Youth and those young at heart will be able to design and build their very own custom car to race or enter as an Art Car. Classifications include 12 and under, 13 to 18, and 19 years and older for racing. Noncompetitive classes are Historic (with owner's choice to race) and Art Car. There will be racing trophies.
