I'll be taking a vacation to LA starting next week and I'm staying with a good friend in Hollywood off Sunset Blvd, however I haven't been to LA since i was a kid (25 years). So my question to the mighty HAMB collective is this. What cool HAMB type stuff should i be on the lookout for? Shows, get togethers, museums, yards (still need parts for my 58 as always), or just other cool things around the area. I've got a car for the week and I'm flying solo so i can really do whatever. Any input is greatly appreciated!
There is a real cool little show (3-400 cars) in the Traffic Circle in Orange on the 15th, Street Rods, Rats, Muscle cars Traditional, a bit of everything shows up http://iheartoldtowneorange.com/2012/04/03/18th-annual-orange-plaza-car-show-april-15/ Old town Orange has a bunch of cool antique stores, tattoo parlors, restaurants etc. Pomona Swap Meet is the same day - Go to Pomona at O-Dark Thirty and then hit the Orange show on the way back.

When I saw this statement, I almost threw up in my mouth!!! --> Pomona is huge and World Famous!! You must attend!! Check out this website --> http://www.socalcarculture.com/events.html You'll find something to do everyday you are here.
Haha my bad bigdog, honestly I'm used to trolling the colorado swaps and they may be biggish, but as a 50's Mopar guy I'm used to being very disappointed.
No problem, you'll have a great time. Sorry about the "throw up" comment....I've been hanging out with a bunch of 16-17-18 year old girls on my daughter's HS softball team.
