The Rumble in Delano Car Show was again a huge success! There were over 100 Pre-1963 cars, hotrods, trucks and motorcycles to feast your eyes on. Several thousand spectators were walking the Douglas strip to look at the unique entries and chat with the owners about their ride. Food and beverage vendors were set up so no one would go hungry or thirsty. Bands played all evening on the stage set up at the clock tower and dancers from Amira Dance Studio were entertaining the crowds. Over 25 pin up girls competed for the "Best Pin Up" contest.
