Cruisin' Grand 2010 hits the streets for its 11th classic year on Friday, April 2, and will run for six action-packed months, filling historic Grand Avenue every Friday with 5,000–8,000 visitors and car owners.
1973 and earlier American-made Classics, Customs, Vintage, Muscle, and Hot Rods are invited to park on Grand Avenue and side streets and enjoy the early 50's setting of downtown Escondido.
Check out the February issue of Car Craft Magazine (see link below) for a great article on Cruisin' Grand's wild Nitro Night last September. What a show! Thanks to Steve, Bill, Ron, and all the team.
