Rock and Roll Car and Bike Show




















 

This year we celebrate our 20th anniversary! It all began when two of Kramer's employees were driving through Mesa when noticed a group of classic cars parked outside a Carl's Jr. Curious, they stopped to investigate. A friendly conversation with the car owners revealed that they were about to lose their parking-lot privileges. The "Rock 'n' Roll McDonald's" in Scottsdale seemed like the perfect new destination for the classic cars, and a Valley tradition was born.

On the very first Saturday night, there were maybe 10 or 12 cars. The second week, there were 20. By the fifth Saturday, there were a hundred cars," says Mark Kramer. Now an average night brings in anywhere from 250 to 500 cars and up to 150 motorcycles. "The neat part is that when this started, it was just the car owners and their significant others," Kramer notes.

Vehicles usually start to arrive around 4 p.m. Cars come and go throughout the evening, and people start to head home around 9 p.m. McDonald's area supervisor Chico Espinoza adds, "We always have the real diehards who come single week around noon and stay until the end." If you love cool old cars, you'll understand why.

Details: Every Saturday evening from 4:30 pm to 9:00 pm. Parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Car clubs must make a group reservation (20 car minimum) by calling 480-367-9500, extension 226 or email us here.
 
Where: 9140 East Indian Bend in Scottsdale, Rock-n-Roll McDonald's.
