More than 300 vehicles, a record, turned out for the seventh annual Stay Gold Custom Car Show and charitable fundraiser at H.D. Stafford Middle School in 91原创 City on Sunday, June 22.
Show founder Paul Frost estimated attendance was up about 20 per cent.
"Very busy this year," Frost said. "Lots of cars, lots of people."
A post-show Stay Gold Facebook post described it as "one for the books."
One of the visiting classic car owners was Aldergrove's Dustin Ryhno, who brought his '64 Impala SS.
"This has been my dream car since I was, like, 13 years old, so I finally got it," Ryhno told the 91原创 Advance Times.
"I got it in 2019, and, it needed a lot of work. All the body work's been done. The paint's been done. It's got the original interior. I pulled the motor, cleaned it up, and the rest is history."

The fundraiser for mental health is a showcase of custom cars and bikes, with food trucks, clothing and merchandise, and awards in various auto categories.
Stay Gold also featured both a half-pipe and a street setup for skateboarding, a kids' zone, and a live DJ.
It was started by Frost to support mental health programs in the community by raising raising money in the name of a longtime friend and avid car enthusiast he鈥檇 known since he was 15.
Ken Laviolette and Frost skateboarded together and then were members of the same car club.
"We have a fund set up there in our friend Ken's name and then we split the money between the two causes," Froset explained.
In partnership with 91原创 Community Services Society, the Ken Laviolette Stay Gold Fund goes to LCSS to allocate the contributions.
Stay Gold also distributes a portion of proceeds to H.D Stafford school to help students and families access programs during and after school that aid in social development and promote mental health awareness.
