Japanese Classic Car Show

This event will be at the Marina Green Park in Long Beach, CA on September 10, 2022.

The ruby is a gemstone that symbolizes love and passion; it is also the 16th anniversary gemstone.The organizers of the Japanese Classic Car Show (JCCS) invite you to join the love and passion on display as more than 550 cars, Japanese classic motorcycles, dozens of vendors and 10,000 attendees visit the 16th JCCS, at Marina Green Park on September 10, 2022. The anniversary is ours; the show displays our love and passion. We are happy to share it with everyone!

Over those 17 years, we have seen some changes. JCCS has been at the forefront of gaining the acceptance of Japanese cars into the world of classic cars here in America. What was once forgotten and discarded is now celebrated and revered. From just a couple of hundred cars attending in 2005, to nearly 600 last year. From a few thousand people through the gate, to more than 10,000 in 2018. We are grateful for the opportunity to have been a pioneering proponent of the idea that Japanese cars and classic cars need not be mutually exclusive. If you’re wondering how the long-simmering grass-roots enthusiasm for old-school Japanese cars finally took off, look no further than JCCS: it is the original, biggest and best Japanese classic-car show you’ll find on American shores. 

 As always, the JCCS event draws in the diversity that is inherent in the hobby. Factory-stock? Highly modified and customized? American-spec? JDM? Cars not even available in the States? Pick a marque; it will be represented. Some vehicles will have weathered the decades unchanged from factory trim; others have been reborn into performance machines with capabilities that no one dreamed of when these cars were new. What favorites and friends can we expect to see once again this year? What new styles and acquaintances will we discover at the same time?

And don’t forget about JCCS’ popular 9th Annual Japanese Classic Motorcycle Show on the grounds! Japanese bikes pre-dated widespread acceptance of Japanese cars in the States, and this class is a nod to the pioneers who have made JCCS possible. They share other similarities: while displaying a simple, honest beauty in original form, builders modify and dramatically change their rides. The appearance of vintage Japanese motorcycles was a dramatic addition to the show; their wide acceptance with our friends, fans and audience has ensured that we bring them back for another year.

We look forward to celebrating vintage Japanese cars and bikes with you at the 16th annual JCCS, our ruby anniversary, at Marina Green Park on September 10 2022!
