Description

Step back into the swinging sixties where everything was “groovy baby” and “shagadelic,” where rock stars were fab and the cars were posh.

The California Automobile Museum is proud to present the British Invasion: A Night of Cool Cars, Hot Food and Groovy Music, August 22, 2019 from 6-9 pm. The cost is $20 for museum members and $25 to the general public. Held at the California Automobile Museum at 2200 Front St., Sacramento, CA 95818, guests are encouraged to come dressed in their favorite British attire. This is an exclusive behind the scenes launch party celebrating the opening of the Museum’s newest exhibit, “The Great British Motoring Exhibit: From Crown to Commoner” which opens to the public August 23, 2019 and runs through January 27, 2020.

On August 22, 2019 the Museum will be transformed into a scene from swinging London. Park your ride in the car park and saunter into the Museum for an evening of British appetizers, groovy music and of course the blindingly brilliant collection of British cars that makes up the newest exhibit, including a 1961 Jaguar E-type (only a few hundred of these were ever made), a 1955 Beardmore Taxi, typical in Europe but rarely seen in the US, a 1936 Morris 8 (only a few hundred in the US today) and a “barn find” 1929 Rolls-Royce. Guests arriving in their own British cars will receive “rock star” parking in front of the Museum.

The party kicks off at 6 pm with appetizers and a cash bar. Channel your inner Austin Powers and come dressed in your favorite British attire, or other mod outfit and be entered to win lovely prizes. Dance The Locomotion, The Hitch Hicker, or the Pony to some of Britain’s best known rock n’ roll, snack on scrummy mini Beef Wellingtons and veggie samosas, or have a gander at the cars on display and read about their history and impact on both British and American culture.

At 7:30 pm join the museum’s curator Carly Starr for a short presentation about the exhibit. Games and fun will be on hand, and then Bob’s your uncle, doors close at 9 pm.

Tickets are $20 for Museum members and $25 for non-members. Get your ticket today at https://www.calautomuseum.org/invasion space is limited and this exclusive hunky-dory event will sell out!
