This past weekend thousands of car enthusiasts turned out to enjoy some of the hundreds of cars that were on display during the Downtown Burbank Car Classic.
People in attendance found some of their favorite cars from movies, and TV their teenage years and more. Some people looked at the engines, some of the customization, the details put in every model.
The first thing you notice is the counter.It’s a solid slab of wood, smooth from wear but clearly handcrafted, anchored at the front of a tiny Burbank bakery that smells like toasted crust and warm butter.
