QruisinPCH, creators of the nation’s largest car cruise, are teaming up with the 42 Foundation (HBPOA/HBPOF) to launch the inaugural Hotrods ’N Helos Classic Car Show on Sunday, March 30, 2025. Presented by Optimum First Mortgage, this one-of-a-kind event will blend Southern California’s renowned car culture with an up-close helicopter showcase in Surf City.
Supporting a Great Cause
Proceeds will benefit the 42 Foundation, which has contributed over $1.4 million since 2000 to support law enforcement programs and community aid. The event brings the community together while supporting crucial programs for officers and their families.
A Unique Automotive & Aviation Experience
The event will feature a stunning collection of hot rods, classics, customs, vintage vehicles, and muscle cars displayed alongside law enforcement and privately owned helicopters. Attendees will enjoy an exclusive look at some of the most remarkable vehicles and aircraft in the industry, all set against the picturesque backdrop of Huntington Beach.
A Community Celebration
This free-to-spectators event will include vendors, a VIP hospitality area, food trucks, live entertainment, and more. “This is more than a car show,” Ken Johnson, QruisinPCH co-founder, says. “It’s a celebration of SoCal’s automotive heritage while supporting a meaningful cause.”
