Conveniently located close to great family hotels, restaurants and other PALM SPRINGS-DESERT RESORT attractions, the Dr. George Car show is a great start to a relaxing weekend getaway.

 The Palm Springs Crusin’ Association is an all volunteer non-profit organization whose purpose is to promote camaraderie among car enthusiasts and to stage and promote charitable car events. It started out as a small gathering of  car enthusiasts that met at Shakey’s Pizza Parlor parking lot in Palm Springs 15 years ago.  People would get together to admire each other’s cars, and swap information. It was started by two local car lovers, Loren Orcutt and Bob Hunt.  Their first gathering consisted of approximately 30 cars. 

As the participation grew, the club moved to Cathedral City to accommodate their size and stayed there for several years.  What originally started as small group has no First Saturday of the Month, September thru June 4-8 pm, open to all car enthusiasts!

 The BEST OF THE WEST JET RALLY is something you have to see to believe. Model airplanes that transend a “hobby” to being more of an obsession of the grown up guys that fly them.

The saying “Big Toys for Big Boys”  is very evident as you listen to the  model jet plane owners and pilots discuss their collections of $10,000-$50,000. planes.

See for yourself. From a distance, you will not believe the jets you are watching perform tricks are pint size models worth thousands!!
