The So-Cal Vintage Treffen was a show we have been wanting to do for quite some time now. After visiting events in Germany like Bad Camberg and Hessisch Oldendorf, we wanted to bring an old German atmosphere together with strictly Vintage Volkswagens. The Phoenix Club in Anaheim, California is a true "old school" German Cultural Club, as well as the perfect host for an event like this. The So Cal Vintage Treffen is limited to 1957 and earlier Beetles and "Press Bumper" Busses, 1959 and earlier Karmann Ghias, Military Vehicles and early coachbuilts. Our first event held in September 2007 turned out to be a big success, and the plan is to hold it every other year opposite the Solvang Vintage Meet put on by the Golden Gate Chapter of the VVWCA.

So if you have an old VW collecting dust in the garage and you want to show it off, or if you're just looking for an excuse to have an authentic German Bratwurst and beer, the So Cal Vintage Treffen is just the place for you.

The So-Cal Vintage Treffen is limited to the first 200 cars registered. This event in particular is specifically for 1957 and earlier Beetle and "Press Bumper" Buses, 1959 and earlier Karmann Ghias, WWII Military and early VW Coachbuilts. Each car show participant will receive admission to the event, "Participant numbered" body badge and pin. Because of our limited room at the Phoenix Club, we have to limit the vehicle count to 200. If there are spots available after pre-registration closes, we will take entries the day of the event until our maximum capacity is reached.  

$50 (pre-registered by 9/1/2011)
 **Show is limited to 200 participants**

Each participant will receive a judging card to fill out and return to the car show registration booth. You are to vote for one car in each class except the class you are registered in. A first place and runner-up award will be given out for each class along with a few specialty awards to be determined later. 

Online Registration is CLOSED!

We are about halfway full, but there are Spots available and you can still pre-register. This Saturday after the Speedwell Rallye, we will have pre-registration and early set-up at the Phoenix Club from 1pm-5pm. The price is still $50, and it will get the car and the driver into the Show. If you would like, you can leave your car parked in it's spot Saturday evening, and walk in Sunday morning. The facility will be locked up with overnight Security.

If we do not sell out Saturday evening, we will still be taking Car Show Entries Sunday morning, until we reach maximum capacity.
