watching parking at the holiday excursion
While watching the videos of the current, and the prior, southern California Holiday Motor Excursions it occurred to me that I sure hope some of the participants can drive their vintage vehicles better that they can park them. Next time you watch one see what I mean.

Re: watching parking at the holiday excursion
Other than the overcrowding from having to park in a county park parking lot that was open to, and occupied by a number of modern cars in addition to the hundreds of participating antique vehicles, I did not notice any difficulties that were worse that a regular visit to our local Target or Home Depot. Parking went fairly smoothly, leaving for the tour was a bit aggravating, as I ended up somewhere back around the 200th car in line. Of course the tour portion was only open to the ‘32 and older “stock” vehicles, the hot rods and newer antiques were not officially part of the tour (see Larry’s post in the other thread). But I agree, that Jay Leno didn’t try very hard to park well (could have been the mob of people that surrounded his car for his whole drive around the lot to his eventual parking spot). And it would have been nice if the ‘20’s era Rolls Royce that blocked me in had been able to find it’s own spot...
Perhaps the tours in your area that have hundreds of participating cars have worked out better logistics...
Keep crankin’
