Cal., L.A. county Rancho Palos Verdes & San Pedro areas Sat., Nov. 3, 2017 ....once again this Fall saw the 'semi-annual' occurrence of the "Palos Verdes Hot Rod Run" through the twisting & turning roads of Rancho Palos Verdes, CA to the eventual ending for some good eats in the San Pedro, L.A. Harbor/Ports 'O' Call area. Hadn't partaken in this run since 2013; Had a great day then so once I got the word it was a green light for this year, I made time to get in on the action following visits to the RPM Nats and the NHRA CA Hot Rod Reunion over the previous weekends. "Local & Low Key" always works for me! Starting from the AM meeting point of an impressive home & private 'automobilia' collection where participants in this low-key cruise were treated to hot beverages & breakfast hors d'oeuvres', the group moved on to complete the 3-hr. excursion. The "reliability-like" cruise made its way up & down hills and through curves, carving its way through the hillside community of Rancho Palos Verdes past horse trails heading Northwest towards it's coastal side. Stops were made at several locations (Del Cerro Park, Palos Verdes Cliffs, Point Vicente Lighthouse & Interpretive Center & The Korean Friendship Bell @ Ft. MacArthur), each offering beautiful vista views of the Pacific Ocean, Catalina Island, Kings Harbor and Santa Monica/Malibu off to the North. The weather was mild & breezy with sunny, blue skies; Coupled with the ocean views & scenery, one couldn't ask for a better day for a jaunt in their jalopy. A great day along with a great drive accompanied by some cool rides of different build backgrounds ended with lunch at the 22nd St. Landing Bar & Grill which offered fresh seafood along with a view of the Cabrillo Marina and Cabrillo Beach & Oceanography facility. Last, to give credit where it is due and in the spirit of being "Quick to Praise" and not take things like this for granted, a "shout out" needs to be given to those humble souls who took time out of their lives to put this all together for their fellow hot rodders: Lynn Bird & Keith Tucker from the South Bay area of So. Cal. They did a great job, kept the group moving along and made it a "short but sweet" affair. Hope they find the time to host it again next year & if time allows, I'm there! Check out the pics in this thread and don't forget to view the second part as well. Enjoy the view!

Is this an annual event, always on the first Saturday of November? If it is a semi annual, what are the two dates? We could not find any info on the actual fall rod run. But, in doing some of the history researching, it seemed to bounce around on different months (Sept-Nov). It is such a great locale and rod run that it should be publicized early for more participation. (unless it is locals only?) In 2004, we were in the Cabrillo Marina area for almost a year and one of our favorite restaurants was the 22nd St. Landing. Not only was the food fresh and outstanding, but the view up the channel while dining was pretty nice, too. It is a 27 year old tradition of great food and views. If you have a boat, parking is right in front. We could not get over the quantity of the seafood on every meal served. My dad's family history starts back in the 30's in San Pedro/Terminal Island. It was always a short drive to San Pedro from our house in Long Beach. Growing up, it was just fun going to the Palos Verdes Peninsula (along that coast line) for whatever activity was going on at the time. It was cruising, checking out the secret surf spots, submarine races, Marineland, salt water taffy, Wayfarer's Chapel, one of the longest Xmas boat parades in So Cal, etc. Jnaki If you add in some information earlier, more people could enjoy some great looking cars and the whole driving event. The quote, "Location, Location, Location," applies to real estate, but this whole peninsula is a huge parcel of real estate! It should be on our list of events in So Cal, just because of the location.
