With an advertisement of "200 classic cars, six beautiful blocks and one beautiful downtown" - we couldn't resist! This past weekend, we spent a splendid Saturday afternoon at the Downtown Burbank Car Classic, which was a stunning show filled with quality vintage cars...

DBC-IMG_3636r DBC-IMG_3632r This John Deere-themed truck was a stunner, and just happened to be the poster truck for last year's Downtown Burbank Car Classic.

If you missed the stunning hearse overhaul we saw at the Hot Rod show earlier this year, be sure to check it out here.

Anyone driving or riding in this vintage beauty really is living life to the fullest! DBC-IMG_3596r DBC-IMG_3597r DBC-IMG_3598r DBC-IMG_3599r This 1960 Edsel Ranger is an ultra-rare beauty. A 2-door hard top, this is only one of 243 ever produced. As if this one couldn't be more valuable, it has a mere 43,000 miles on the odometer! DBC-IMG_3602r DBC-IMG_3601r Wouldn't you feel a little better about getting a speeding ticket if this was the cop car to chase you down? Maybe that's just me, but I certainly think it would help ease the pain of a ticket! DBC-IMG_3594r DBC-IMG_3590r DBC-IMG_3591r DBC-IMG_3592r DBC-IMG_3589r

We didn't either. Both Warner Brothers and the Petersen Automotive Museum had cars on display at this event, including... DBC-IMG_3576r The latest Batman vehicle (a little boy asked a Warner Bros. employee if it actually drove - she confirmed that it did)... DBC-IMG_3577r And the classic General Lee... DBC-IMG_3579r And, parked nearby, looking like it certainly could have been a movie car, was this French stunner that we last saw at the Grand National Roadster show. Now, if I could only catch a glimpse of this baby on the highway... that would make my summer!It was our first time attending the Downtown Burbank Car Classic, and it won't be our last. The City of Burbank did a wonderful job of organizing and hosting this event. We highly recommend that you add it to your must-attend car show list for next year!
