Guest Judge Charles Phoenix
Charles, '74, on dad's car lot Today: America's Favorite Histo-Tainer
Los Angeles legend, Charles Phoenix will be our Guest Judge for the Car Show... AND he will present his laugh-out-loud funny retro slide show, "The United States of Charles Phoenix," featuring car culture and Americana of the 1950s-60s and 70s. Charles has appeared on Martha Stewart's TV show twice and was recently featured on the cover of LA Weekly.
Charles grew up in Ontario, CA, where his dad owned several used car lots. So began his passion for vintage cars, which continued into his adult life. Charles eventually began collecting vintage cars, and owned a storage facility where LA celebrities and others stored their classic cars. Last year, Charles documented his Route 66 Road Trip to Tulsa, Oklahoma to see the unearthing of the famous 1957 time capsule which contained a classic 1957 Plymouth which had been buried for 50 years! Read about it - and more - on his website at www.CharlesPhoenix.com !
