Last Saturday's Show and Go Car Show filled Downtown Riverside with over a thousand vehicles spanning automotive history. The cloudy weather kept temperatures comfortable for the large crowds admiring the diverse collection.

What sets this event apart is its distinctive "cruise" format, where participants drive their vehicles along a prescribed downtown route. The cruise path runs along Market Street between 14th Street and Mission Inn Avenue, then continues on Main Street from 14th to 10th Street. This carefully planned route provides spectacular backdrops including the historic Riverside County Courthouse and the iconic Fox Theater, enhancing the visual appeal as classic and modern vehicles parade through the heart of the city.

From pristine Model Ts to limited-edition performance cars, some vehicles appeared showroom-fresh while others proudly displayed decades of patina and creative repairs.
