Muckenthaler Motor Car Festival - Orange County's Oldest Car Show
The Muckenthaler Motor Car Festival is Orange County’s oldest running auto show and one of Professor Quan’s favorites. The two-day event happens only once a year. And this year’s event did not disappoint. As the local, Southern California, auto show season heats up we dispatched the Good Professor to the Muckenthaler Estate for a complete analysis of the 2018 event. Hear the details in this iDriveSoCal Podcast.

Recording date – May 21, 2018 at Benztown Studios in Glendale, CA
Clinton Quan: The Muckenthaler Motor Car Festival, they say it's the oldest running auto show in North Orange County. It's a two day event, and that's why it's called a car festival. On Saturdays it's hot rods and customs. I always go on Sunday, the big day, the Concours d'Elegance. These are the car shows that I really enjoy attending the most, are the ones that are once a year, because it really is something that's special.
Tom Smith: Welcome to iDriveSoCal, the podcast all about mobility from the automotive capital of the United States, Southern California. Tom Smith here, and I am joined by The Professor, Mr. Clinton Quan. Say hello Clinton.
Clinton Quan: Hi Tom.
Tom Smith: Today's topic is going to be an auto show, a very special auto show that The Professor attended, what was that, just yesterday, I guess it was this past weekend, huh?
Clinton Quan: Yes. It was just yesterday.
Tom Smith: The Muckenthaler Motor Car Festival in Fullerton, California. That was at the Muckenthaler Estate, which is now a museum.
Clinton Quan: Yes. It's a museum, cultural center art gallery.
Tom Smith: Okay, very cool. And you've been to this show before right?
Clinton Quan: I've been the show a number of years. It's one of the shows that I attend annually.
Tom Smith: Tell us all about it.
Clinton Quan: Well, the Muckenthaler Motor Car Festival, they say it's the oldest running auto show in North Orange County. It's a two day event, and that's why it's called a car festival. On Saturdays it's hot rods and customs. I always go on Sunday, the big day, the Concours d'Elegance.
Tom Smith: You didn't go on Saturday this year. Have you ever been on Saturday?
Clinton Quan: I've never attended on Saturday. I always go on Sunday. Sunday is the big day with all the classic cars and sports cars. There's also a big Jaguar showing there, The Jaguar Club. That's probably one of their biggest events of the year.
Tom Smith: Yeah, and speaking of which, I was just looking at Clinton's pictures. If you've seen Clinton in some of the images on iDriveSoCal, you know that he can bust out some pretty interesting outfits. I like to call them costumes. Clinton was definitely in full regalia for yesterday's event. He was dressed as if he was just out of a James Bond movie, driving a Jaguar perhaps, something English, with the top down through the English countryside. But, another fantastic costume as always for The Professor at an automotive show.
Clinton Quan: Oh, thanks Tom.
Tom Smith: Tell us about your experience there this Sunday. And it's just once a year right?
Clinton Quan: Yeah, it's once a year. These are the car shows that I really enjoy attending the most, are the ones that are once a year, because it really is something that's special. It's a one day ... Well, the Concours, it's a one day event. I usually get there early, so I can take some really nice photos. There was a special appearance by the original Batmobile. I don't know if this was the actual one used in the television show, but it looked just like it, even the interior.
Tom Smith: Nice.
