Honda's Presence at JCCS 2018
The Japanese Classic Car Show is the biggest little auto event in SoCal. Coverage courtesy of Super Street.
A trip through time
At the annual Japanese Classic Car Show, there have always been Hondas representing but over the years that number has grown steadily. This year the show took up residence in a new location which is where WekFest has usually been held on Shoreline Drive in Long Beach, CA.
More time for more cars
In an effort to widen the scope of vehicles that could show up at the event, and to bolster attendance the 1985 cut-off rule was eliminated. That line in the sand has been pushed up another decade to 1995. Moving that cap up means that cars like the EF/ED and EG/EH Civic, Del Sols, more Accords and DC Integras.

It's... interesting
The organization of the vehicles at the show make it easy to find things and spend some quality time with your favorite make and model. This 1971 Honda Vamos is an example of how you can find special vehicles at events like this. The Vamos has an air cooled 354 cc two-cylinder engine that is mounted mid-way like a modern supercar is.

Things were so simple then
This CRX is indicative of the style that was popular back in Southern California in the early years of the '90s. Back then all you really needed was a nice set of wheels, a decent stereo, and a good drop to really set your car off. For those who wanted to add some performance to their car, there was always a good exhaust system and a new intake to help things breathe.

That patina tho
This car is Honda's very first racer that ran a campaign. It is based on a 1970 N600 chassis and only had 45 bhp. Unfortunately, the car wasn't able to finish the Baja 1000 when it competed due to constant CV joint issues. Tim Mings, reported N600 medic, owns this car and may or may not restore this model like this one he did a few years ago.
