West Coast Cruise 1982
The West Coast Cruise was a traditional custom car show held by West Coast Kustoms, a newly established club dedicated to traditional custom cars. Organized by Rich Pichette, the first show was held September 18-19, 1982, at Lake Nacimiento, just outside of Paso Robles, California. At the time there were plenty of street rod shows, so Pichette decided that custom fans deserved a get-together of their own. The word about the newly established show spread quickly, and a total of 82 cars showed up for the initial gathering.[1]
