2004 Temecula Invasion - Custom Truck Show

Wintertime in Southern California is warm enough for an outdoor car show, and you can be relatively safe that it will go on as scheduled. This was true of the 18th annual gathering in the streets of Temecula, where the weather was very nice indeed. This year was no different than years past, with regard to the mix of vehicles on hand for a fun weekend. However, there seemed to be fewer vehicles and more booths filled with just about everything automotive, including crafts, bric-a-brac, and a lot of food. In the city itself, the tourist mecca of Temecula offered machine shops, boutiques, and antique stores.

Yes, the truck people were out in numbers displaying a wide variety of makes, models, and years. The photo layout here provides a look at what to expect if you venture down I-15 toward San Diego from the L.A. area, on the last weekend of February in 2005.
