OK- it is time for the 59 Club O.C. section to take a ride out to Chino Hills this saturday to check out the cool show that is an annual event and gathers a Plethora of Motor vehicles.
This is the First time for me and am excited to see what the show has to offer, and the weather should be great for riding to Chino Hills, so hope that you can all make it for the trip.
I think we have about 16 people riding from Aleas’ Cafe in Anaheim for the journey to the show and this should prove to be an entertaining meet up and like minded folk will be there too.

About the Show
The Friends of Steve McQueen Car Show is an automotive gathering and Fridaycommemorative dinner held in early June to raise funds for Boys Republic, a private, non-profit, nonsectarian community for at-risk boys and girls ages 13-17. Established in 2008 by members and friends of the (Porsche) 356 Club of Southern California, the event attracts automobile, motorcycle and off-road motorsports enthusiasts from throughout the U.S.
Every summer the Friends of Steve McQueen Car Show brings thousands of spectators to the Boys Republic campus, where 16 year-old Steve McQueen spent time as a student in 1946. Since its start in 2008, the event has raised over $750,000 and has helped to attract corporate interest resulting in donations of skilled labor and building materials through the Lowe’s Heroes community improvement project valued at more than $100,000.00.
