Prestone seeks cars for LA rally celebrating 90th anniversary

We doubt the 2011 Prestone-sponsored Top Fuel dragster driven by Spencer Massey will be in the celebration (it couldn’t make the parade distance) but is should be in the display.  (Ron Lewis file photo)

 

Prestone® Products Corporation is commencing a search for extraordinary vehicles to participate in an extensive rally throughout Los Angeles, covering ground from the historic Hollywood Hills to the scenic Pacific Coast Highway.

 

The rally, beginning the morning of Tuesday, Nov. 28, is a culmination of Prestone’s year-long 90th anniversary celebration and will include a celebratory cruise-in at the Petersen Automotive Museum, where the cars will be housed the night of Nov. 28.

 

The rally will continue the morning of Wednesday, Nov. 29, where a selection of top cars from the tour will be displayed at the Los Angeles Convention Center to jumpstart the second full day of AutoMobility LA 2017, the annual trade show that precedes the 110th LA Auto Show.

 

Prestone is looking for cars with a unique backstory, from barn finds to vehicles that have been passed down in families for generations, rare sports cars, hot rods, supercars and more. Anyone with an exceptional vehicle is encouraged to email Prestone@JMPRPublicRelations.com to be considered for the rally.   [07/12/17]

Mouhayet readies new car for Australia’s ‘Nitro Up North’

Australia's newest 'Slammer has broken cover, showing off a livery championing new marketing partners Komatsu and Mack Trucks. The contrasting white on black scheme proves that good looks run in the family, with this '68 Fastback following in the tire track of its twin turbo 2014 Mustang big brother.

 

Paul Mouhayet and the entire MOITS team have been burning the midnight oil continuously since the Jerry Bickel car hit Aussie shores a week ago. The car is now almost ready to be pushed into the team’s new transporter and head off on the long trek to their debut outing at the Nitro Up North event at Darwin's Hidden Valley Drag Strip on July 21-22.  [07/12/17]
