| Introduction | Long Beach Motorama is a modern indoor and outdoor Car Show & Cruise steeped in tradition! The first car show to be back in the Long Beach Arena in 32 yrs. Long Beach Motorama pays tribute to the Renegades Car Club formed in 1941 in Long Beach. In early 1950 through 1957 the club was producing Kustom car shows on high school football fields. This new craze grew into the show being held in Long Beach Municipal Auditorium from 1958-1960. This was the “Premiere” Kustoms show on the West Coast back then, with the National Roadster Show (Oakland) being the equivalent for hot rods to the North. Long Beach Motorama is dedicated to the Renegades C/C and Rich Pichette. Without both, and the fact that Rich Pichette brought the Cruisin’ Nationals to Paso Robles I wouldn’t have known of, or been inspired to carry on this tradition of Kustoms and Hot Rods (I lived in Paso). |
