LABOR DAY WEEKEND CRUISE AND CAR SHOW IN DOWNTOWN PASO ROBLES By Chuck Desmond Waaayyy back in 1986, the Golden State Classics Car Club was started by a handful of local folks who wanted to keep alive the memories of antique, classic and custom motor vehicles. They also wanted to help with restoration knowledge and an awareness of this aspect of America’s vehicle history. Another goal was to bring community members together for something everyone could get behind. I’m pretty sure no one had any idea that 30 years later, the group would still be intact nor what it’s influence would bring to El Paso de Robles. Weather on the Central Coast provides super “get out and drive days” sandwiched amid an abundance of motoring roads that are beyond perfect for the oldies to cruise through. We see them all the time and often, it is a string of them that makes us want to pull over and just watch, admire, drool and, depending our age, perhaps reminisce. Street rods, classics, custom rigs, VWs, woodies, sedans, convertibles, phenomenal paint and restoration jobs, really old license plates, actual leather upholstery, AM radios, whitewall tires, massive grills, great big headlights and huge taillights! Man oh man, America made some unbelievable vehicles! In 2010, the CRUISE hosted by Golden State Classics Car Club and the City of Paso Robles was put into play. On Friday, Sept. 2nd, from 6 to 8 p.m., that’s the time to line Spring St. with your fold-up chairs and a cooler full of sodas and bottles of water. By all means, bring the children (of all ages) plus your camera, binoculars and comfy walking shoes! There should be about 300 vehicles from all over the western part of the country that participate in the cruise. It’s a sight to behold! What is also great is to be downtown on Thursday and Friday during the day as the vehicles begin to arrive and start flowing through the streets to give you a “pre-show-off feeling!” You’ll see groups of folks all huddled up around vehicles parked here and there. Hint: Check around the Paso Robles Inn – that’s a really good spot! Ah, and then comes Saturday the 3rd in City Park. Old vehicles will be everywhere! That’s the time to meander through and talk to the owners, look at ones for sale and get an idea of what it took to get these beauties into shape. Food booths, concession stands and memorabilia for sale. And, it’s not just for your viewing pleasure. At last year’s event, based on donations and raffles, thirteen local organizations received checks for between $500 and $1000. Now, my fellow Roblans, that’s not a car club – that’s what Roblans do and how Roblans support one another. We have fun, we have great events, we lift up, we teach, we support. Need to know more? Call 286- 6408 or www.goldenstateclassics .org. CRUISE ON Paso Robles! K-9 from page 28 For a month, the new team lived in a hotel and there were six other teams going through training but Armex was way out ahead of “those rookie dogs!” Officer Hackett and Armex bonded. Armex let Dan become the Alpha-Male. All was fine! Paso has another K-9 unit comprised of Jeff DePetro and his dog, Ir, who have been together since 2011. With the two K-9 teams, Paso’s back at full strength. That’s part of the good news. The other part is that Armex is a tremendous “Drug Dog and Tracker – he’ll find it.” It should be uplifting to all of us to know that Dan and Armex are out to help get drugs out of our community! Officer Hackett, best to you and keep safe while you keep us safe! 30 PASO Magazine, September 2016
