Gallery Director - Melissa Inez Walker: “Immortalized is one of our most well attended shows of the year. Cruisin’ Grand organizes to have our block closed to traffic and we line it with some of the most impressive custom, unique, and original hot rods in all of Southern California. The pinup contest ads to the fun and the best part is that funds raised benefit both Palomar College Scholarships and Cruisin’ Grand ”.
