On Oct. 3, Japanese Classic Car Show (JCCS) held its 21st annual meetup in Long Beach. The event brought together car enthusiasts across California and beyond all centered around Japanese car culture. Despite the high heat levels over the weekend, fans did not disappoint as attendees lined up before the event officially opened at 9 a.m.
With this year’s event welcoming car models released up until 1995, the show featured a wide variety of classics from the 60s-90s, both from the U.S. and imported from Japan. Cars were organized by manufacturer and then separated into groups by model, enabling fans to easily browse through the hundreds of cars on display. The show showcases all types of vehicles, including sports cars, trucks, work vehicles and more.
Here are some highlights of the show that showcased the diversity of Japanese classic car culture at the event.
