The Central Valleys Car Culture Curators

Our events transform car culture into unforgettable experiences, connecting classic car lovers, families, and businesses in a dynamic, engaging atmosphere.

Car culture is more than just vehicles—it’s about community.

Yet, many enthusiasts and local businesses struggle to find the right events to connect with. That’s where Hot Rod Coalition comes in.

Our events consistently draw some of the largest crowds and car counts from Bakersfield to Oakland, CA, creating an unmatched gathering place for builders, businesses, and fans alike. 

Whether you’re showcasing a build, growing your brand, or just soaking in the atmosphere, we provide the platform to celebrate and strengthen the hot rod culture.
