Features Moving (Back) to Spokane

I recently moved back “home” to Spokane to be closer to family (after 40 years living abroad). Now that I’m back I would like to get reacquainted with local hot rod/custom culture. So my questions are:

What are the best annual Spokane shows and swap meets?

What are the best weekly/monthly cruise-in’s.

Greatly appreciated!

Best wishes on the move and good luck in the new location. Sometimes we just have to go "home" again.

 

Go to a local zips burger (other places have them as well) and grab a INCCC calendar (its a little book thing) it list all the shows and swap meets in the area. A good show is the Spokane Speed and Custom show which is normally in April,

 

@Chris should be able to help you out

Will do, thanks!

I remember back when that event was called the “Spokane Auto, Boat, and Speed Show”. It was usually held at the Fairgrounds.

Is there a single BIG weekend cruise-in event in Spokane?

 

Anybody? Bueller??

 

I'm not in the PNW but it looks like the big one is 07/15/21......ten blocks downtown and 500 cars.

Looks like the Inland Car Club Council puts out a yearly calendar of events in the Spokane area.

Meanwhile, just down the road in Tri Cities. It's on my social calendar for next year!

 

Good Guys in Spokane and Puyallup.

 

Drop by Delta Cams in Spokane...Great guys there!

 

Mmmmm .... pancake breakfast

 

There is a show similar to the old Auto Boat and Speed show. its called Spokane Speed and Custom show. Its the biggest indoor show of the year. The guy that puts it on gets some really really good stuff to come in. The show has a Facebook and Instagram you can check out.

 

There's allot of car guys in Spokane and the surrounding area. I'd say the Spokane Speed & Custom Show along with GoodGuys are the events I usually go to. Tons of other small things & gatherings

 

If you ever need any rear differential work done, Billy Johnson is the go to guy in Spokane.

Just across the border, you have "Car de Lane"

 

Happy Holidays fellas!

Is there a go-to guy in Spokane who builds Chrome Reverse steel wheels?

 

I think Delta Cams, is located in Tacoma.

 

Happy Holiday to you. Things will open up hopefully next year. I think the Spring BBQ in Palouse south of town is a really great start , great little drive and you see a little of everything at the car show. It sponsored by the Knuckle Scrapers.

 

Could someone please share Don Audel’s HAMB user name and/or contact information? Please PM for his privacy. I know he is retired, but wanted to ask him if he would consider making a special exception to pin-stripe my 37 Ford, the “Dick Flynn Coupe”...recently repainted with 8 coats of Acrylic Lacquer.

Thanks much!

I just checked and the Normal PNW go to rod trot calendar and car show magazine = Cruzin magazine has been suspended at least until this virus thing is over and things open up again.
Can't help on Don Audel, I watched him strip a car 30 something years ago But that's about it.

 

Can anyone recommend a good/traditional pinstriper in the Spokane area?

 

Don't know, Maybe Von Dago in Couer d' Alene?
