Chariots SoCal Car Meets

Chariots SoCal Car Meets are rolling into Lakewood with a weekly Wednesday night setup for old-school American rides. This one has that familiar cruise-night feel: a regular spot, a steady evening window, food close by, and cars filling in as the afternoon turns into night. The meet is geared toward pre-1985 American cars, trucks, and motorcycles, so expect the rows to lean classic, chrome-heavy, and full of older builds with real street presence. With trophies, raffle prizes, and a 50/50 drawing in the mix, there is enough going on to keep the night moving without making it feel too formal. Hosted by Chariots SoCal Car Club, the event has a strong club-meet identity and a family-friendly tone. There is a small entry fee for show vehicles, and participants check in at the booth to qualify for trophies. Since this is a weekly recurring event running from May through October, attendees and drivers should check Chariots SoCal’s official social pages before heading out for any weather, schedule, or location updates. The club also has the Chariots Anniversary Car Show coming up at Palms Park and Community Center in Lakewood, giving fans of their weekly meets another date to keep on the calendar. Happening at Denny’s Restaurant in Los Angeles County, the setting fits the weekly meet style well. It gives people a simple place to gather, grab food, and hang around the cars without overcomplicating the night. The biggest draw should be the steady mix of classic American cars, old trucks, cruisers, and motorcycles, especially for people who enjoy smaller weekly meets where familiar faces start becoming part of the scene. Bring your classic, bring the family, or just stop by for dinner and a walk through the lot. Chariots SoCal Car Meets feel like the kind of weeknight gathering that works because it stays simple: good cars, good people, and a reason to keep Wednesdays on the calendar.
