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.  The tenth year marks a special anniversary and planning has already started on this much anticipated event!

As happens every year, car enthusiasts will gather in the Arts Center parking lot to show off their vehicles, swap stories and marvel at all the classic cars. Vehicles will be judged for best Custom/Modified, Hot Rod, Sports Car, Stock, and Trucks with special awards for Ladies’ Choice, Judge’s Awards, People’s Choice and others. The show is not juried and trophies are awarded.

Entertainment at the 10th Anniversary Gualala Arts Auto Show will be provided by Brad Wilson and “The Rhythm Drivers,” a high energy blues band. They draw from the blues tradition to create a dynamic soul-infused style that is very danceable.  Brad Wilson’s old school approach to the blues was heavily influenced by his older brother Kim Wilson of the Fabulous Thunderbirds, but he has also had an opportunity to meet many of the great bluesmen such as Muddy Waters, James Cotton, Billy Boy Arnold, Lazy Lester and other contemporary bluesmen who have inspired him. “The Rhythm Drivers” play in the various styles of Swamp, Chicago, Delta, and West Coast blues yet maintain a contemporary sound. Brad leads the band with his soulful vocals and amplified harmonica playing to create a heartfelt style that still maintains danceability. Bring your dancing shoes!
