About the Event
Arthur Fremont Gilmore started a dairy farm in 1880 at what would later become Third and Fairfax in the Fairfax district of Los Angeles. Around 1900, drilling for water for his cows, Gilmore struck oil instead and started the Gilmore Oil Co. He ushered the cows off the land and soon there were oil derricks all over his dairy farm and 3,500 Gilmore gas stations across the West. Gilmore took some of that gas money and built a stadium on part of the land for a new sport called Midget racing.
To commemorate the site’s racing heritage, once a year there’s a car show called the Gilmore Heritage Auto Show. The show is sponsored by A.F. Gilmore, one of the Gilmore family whose ancestors originally developed the land. Cars are parked along some of the walkways in and around the Farmers Market. Each year’s show has a theme: woodies, tailfins, lowriders, Mustang Ranch, Thunderbirds, and, for the show’s 13th anniversary, it was black cars. This year’s show, held June 1, was themed Muscle Cars. To that end, there were 40 of the great muscle cars of the early ’70s scattered around the market, along with another 60 big American classics.
