About the Event
The Japanese Classic Car Show (JCCS®), the premier gathering of Japanese automotive heritage, is thrilled to announce that our 20th anniversary event will take place on Saturday, October 11, 2025, at the iconic Marina Green Park in Long Beach, California. This major milestone for JCCS® marks two decades of celebrating Japanese classic cars and their impact on automotive culture in the U.S. and beyond.
Following a highly successful 2024 event, which saw a record-breaking turnout and an incredible display of classic “kyusha” from across the country, the 2025 JCCS® promises to be an even bigger and more unforgettable celebration. With kyusha fans and owners, eagerly awaiting this special anniversary, we’re pulling out all the stops to make it a must-attend event for the entire Japanese automotive community.

Partner Event: The Japanese Classic Car Show
About the Event
14 years ago a group of Southern California car enthusiasts got together with the idea of putting on a new event – one that would celebrate vintage Japanese automobiles and the culture that surrounds them. At the time this was a pretty bold idea, as classic Japanese cars had yet to reach mainstream acceptance.
Fast forward 14 years, JCCS® has become one of Southern California’s premier car gatherings. In recent years the event has grown right alongside the popularity of classic Japanese cars themselves.
It is and remains to be America’s First and Original Japanese Car Show, Dedicated to Old School Japanese Cars.
