Cruisin' Weekend Atascadero 2023 - Friday Night Cruise & Classic Car Show

Road trip up the coast for Cruisin' Weekend Atascadero. Filmed the Friday night cruise at this great event on El Camino Real in Downtown Atascadero, California. Hundreds of classic cars, pickups, muscle cars, hot rods, customs, lowriders, and antique autos came out to cruise the loop.
Note: I headed home Saturday morning after due to the storm and wasn't able to film Concours d'Lemons.

That 49 Buick hardtop custom was GORGEOUS.

[@MikeFrankovich]

Definately a crowd pleaser.

[@ericfaley9019]

Thank you for stopping by our town for the Hot El Camino nights. You filmed my car. 1970 Plymouth Road Runner Sassy Grass Green.

[@MikeFrankovich]

No problem. It was supposed to be part of a trip where I hit a couple of shows, but headed home due to the storm. This is a great event and it's easy to see why the community comes out to support it.

[@djmarcante]

very rare cars, show of machines. 🥰❤️

[@MikeFrankovich]

So many interesting cars at this one. Nice to see them in motion

[@djmarcante]

Mike, I enjoyed Cruisin Atascadero, it is great to mix in new locations.I think that's a really good idea. Wayne

Definitely

[@stevedriver1476]

That green citroen DS wagon was bizare,, what a great show, incredible cars. Its great to see the locals support these events and the people behave civil. If that was australia some idiots would have been doing burnouts and throwing fireworks. Thats why you never see these cruize deals here. Great show mike stay safe bro in that storm and flash flooding.

[@MikeFrankovich]

Got through the storm just fine. This is a great example of how a town can support an amazing car event.

[@RandysFiftySevenChevy]

Thanks Mike, sorry I missed it.

Next time!

Hey we have about the same thing here at Old Town close to Orlando Florida every Saturday, don’t your friend know about Hurricanes we get at least one a year, great video 😎🇺🇸

[@MikeFrankovich]

I've seen a video on the Orlando cruise. We don't get hurricanes here in SoCal. I was close to one while in the Navy in Virginia about thirty years ago. I remember boarding up windows and them telling us to stay in the barracks.

[@CarsandCats]

Old Town is great. I used to bring my Duster there many years ago.

[@ivoman7]

20:33 Ford pickup. I like that type of setup, for any pickup truck. Not a fan of having people in the bed of the truck though, but hey-ho, it's a show. 👍

[@MikeFrankovich]

The streets were closed off and most weren’t going that fast.

[@larrygcrews7971]

Thanks for all the hard work you put into these videos Mike!!!

[@MikeFrankovich]

My pleasure!

[@michaelmassey5929]

tell daughter us car guys would like to see her with dad at these events more often

[@MikeFrankovich]

I told her they had cool bands and lots of vendors at Ventura Nationals. She'll have a great time.

[@buzzycoyote2573]

Hey Mike!

[@MikeFrankovich]

Hi

[@CarsandCats]

Hey Mike, do they still have the huge show in Paso Robles? I loved going to that one back in the 80's. Pismo Beach had a great one too.

[@MikeFrankovich]

The West Coast Kustoms show that used to be in Paso Robles is now in Santa Maria. I did film it last year and this year. Look for "Santa Maria Cruisin' Nationals." The big Pismo show still happens, but it's on a weekend when there's a few shows in the LA area, so I haven't been to it.

[@CarsandCats]

Thank you Mike! I've got family in Santa Maria so that's perfect. :) I'll go back and watch your videos.@@MikeFrankovich

[@grantellis3046]

@6:13 I hope that this 1970 Plymouth Road Runner is not mine that I had up for sale at Stick City in Whittier near Beach Blvd. It was stolen off the lot in the middle 70’s after I had put it up for sale there because I had a friend that worked there.

[@theodorehall322]

Nice one Frank, favorite car 37Cord?

I was trying to get a really good look as I filmed it going by.

If your referring to the Roadrunner it looks way dark for J5 LimeLight. They had three different greens. J5 was a High Impact color extra cost.

[@ericfaley9019]

@@thomasthurston6656 officially Sassy Grass Green is a 71 color. Plymouth came out with a sales bulletin in January of 1970 stating Sassy Grass Green and Mulan Rouge would be available for orders starting early February 1970. My car is built July of 1970. My fender tag has FJ6 on it. I have copies of the sales bulletins too.

[@TheBuellerBunch]

A lot of non-classics mixed in. Guess they didnt have year restrictions.

[@MikeFrankovich]

I don’t know if they have a year limit. Most of the cars were vintage

[@ericfaley9019]

No restrictions on vehicles

Please find that squatted orange square body and torch it. Thank you Humanity
