When Japan does something it REALLY does something. They have a festival of Californian culture each year called Cal Flavour, it contains, food, clothes, BMX, skateboarding and of course a car show. The show is the Japanese take on VW scene, hot rods, low riders and the occasionally unfortunate USDM. Check out the home page here : calflavor.com/ which seems to fully load before it'll let you use it!
I headed to Local Hero for this set of images as I knew they would have some great ones, however I am sure there are many more galleries around the net, can the community exercise its searching muscles to find them?
A nice range lining up, you can see a range of influences here
There is only one way to arrive with a lolo (check the colour coded hat, Japan has the attention to detail!)
A bunch of fodder for The Low Set Minitruck Monday
Not so Mini truck, but so awesome
A slice of something Cal-Look-ish and German, but that rear end treatment looks a bit more serious
Hot rods, from the trad to the modern rat custom
Can't tell if the paint is satin or it is a trick of the light (nice mexican hat though)

More satin paint, don't step on my blue suede ... car?
Matt black shoebox Ford... god I want a shoebox
Finally a pair of cars with some SERIOUS SERIOUS paint, first this bomb
and then this!! So many amazing touches in this paintwork, I could look at it for hours
See more here and share any you like, or maybe hunt some more out (I'm sure Minkara Carview has a load and I've not checked Flickr yet) :

Now I'm off because those delicious looking burgers on the event site have made me hungry
