I have a 1969 westcoaster 3 wheel us postal delivery vehicle. I want to come and show it. The dmv does not cosider it a motorcycle because it is fully enclosed and is driven like you would drive a car. Pllease tell me I can bring it to cruise night.
Because DMV does not consider it a morotcycle, please bring it. It sounds very interesting and we would love to see it.
I would like to come to the show. I have a Guide Dog and I am able to take her every where. Will I have a problem? Thank You
Kathy
No, you shouldn’t have a problem. If you have some type of ID to put on your dog to identify it as a guide dog (vest, collar etc), that will help. Otherwise our volunteers will not know and may remind you dogs are not allowed.

I am confused why can’t we have our dog go for a walk with us. That is not a fair rule.
There are several reasons we don’t allow dogs. Liability is the biggest. Then think of your poor dogs feet. Most nights are hot and the pavement is extremely hot on your poor dogs paws.
Your dog peeing on the wheels and tires that can cost thousands of dollars is only a small part of the liabilty. Dogs fighting with each other, biting kids, paws being stepped on, people tripping over leashes. These are a few of the liability scenarios that can happen when there are a large number of people at a gathering.
We work under the Downtown Business Associations insurance umbrella and it was decided over 20 years ago it would be a dog free event.
Chad,
Congratulations on your first place award at the Sacramento Autorama. All car guys and gals appreciate all cars. As much as we would like to have every “cool” car at our event, we are limited in space. 1972 and older represents the antique, hot rod, classic and muscle car eras. There are other events in Northern California that are open to all years. We hope you will come see us in Auburn and enjoy the older cars.
Rita
I hate that you restrict the years to participate. Since I moved here from Texas I’ve noticed that this is a huge practice here in California. Is there a reason? I am a car guy, and my car has won many awards already including first place at the Sacramento autorama, but it’s a 2014. People like to see new vehicles as well.
Thanks
Roy,
No need to approve your car. It fits the year requirement. We do not allow cars on trailers; you will need to be able to drive it. Hope to see you tomorrow.
Rita and Bob
I HAVE A 1966 B&Z ELECTRIC. B&Z MADE E-CARS FROM 1960 TO 1984.A GREAT BARN FIND.IT MUST HAVE SAT IN SOMEONES GARAGE FOR 20 TO 30 YEARS. IT IS STREET LEGAL AND EVERYTHING WORKS. MAY I SEND YOU A PIC FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION ?
THANKS
My car is a1973 Mustang Mach 1convertible. It is same body etc. as71 and 72. Is it not allowed to be shown?
I’m sorry, but we have to draw the line somewhere. If we allow yours, then we will have to allow others. Then those that have 1974 cars will want an exception. You certainly are welcome to park in other areas of town where “overflow” vehicles park. Thank you for asking first.
My classic is of the year 1972.. it’s very nice and I’d love to participate. Would I not be allowed?
Yes, Peter, you are welcome to bring it. Thank you for your question as it has brought to my attention the wording on the years allowed should read 1972 and older. I will get it changed. Hope to see you in August
Thanks in support of sharing such a pleasant thinking, post is nice, thats why i
have read it completely
What does it take to verify a special interest vehicle? My vehicle is a kit car on a 1974 frame (registered 1974 chevy).
Thank you for your question. Special interest vehicles include vintage firetrucks, ambulances, military vehicles etc. We allow kit cars as long as the car body design is older the 1972, such as a 55 Chevy Bel Air body on a modern frame. Hope you enjoy coming to Cruise Nite. Stop by the info table and say “hi”.
Rita
