2023 Corte Madera Lions Club Car Show

Our third show was a blast! A warm sunny windless day with the Corte Madera marshland close by and Mt Tam in the near distance, was a perfect setting for another collection of 110 great old cars and 18 new EV models shown by their dealers.

A DJ spun appropriate tunes from our classic car era and visitors enjoyed offerings from Pig and a Pickle and Angie’s Drive-through washed down with liquids from the Lions bar. Additional interest was sparked by booths of the CHP, O’Reilly Car Parts, Vroom-Vroom Girl, Marvel Renewables, Better Earth Solar, Divine Electric, and Drive Clean Marin with Corte Madera Action.

See photos of some of the participants below, along with a listing of the award-winning cars.
