The Hotrods ‘N Helos Classic Car Show, an inaugural event blending Southern California’s iconic car culture with helicopter exhibits, has announced that renowned vehicle builder and aftermarket personality Chip Foose will serve as the event’s grand marshal.

Best known for his visionary designs, appearances on “Overhaulin’” and decades-long impact on the world of custom car building, Foose will bring his industry passion to the one-of-a-kind gathering, set for Sunday, March 30, in Huntington Beach.

Hosted in partnership with the 42 Foundation and QruisinPCH, the event aims to raise funds supporting law enforcement programs, community aid initiatives and the well-being of Huntington Beach Police Officers Association employees and their families. Since 2000, the 42 Foundation has contributed over $1.4 million.

“Having Chip Foose join us as grand marshal is an incredible honor,” said Mark Wersching, police officer and president of the HBPOA. “Chip is a part of our community here in Huntington Beach and his legacy and contributions to car culture are unparalleled. His presence will undoubtedly elevate the experience for attendees while amplifying the sense of excitement and pride in what we’re building with Hotrods ‘N Helos. We can’t wait to celebrate with him and our entire community in Surf City.”

Fueled by QruisinPCH, the organization behind Southern California’s wildly popular “Quarantine Cruise,” Hotrods ‘N Helos will showcase hot rods, classics, customs, vintage vehicles, trucks, old muscle and more, all displayed alongside law enforcement and privately owned helicopters.

Attendees can enjoy an array of local food trucks, live entertainment, a VIP hospitality area for a premium experience, and a vendor village featuring top brands and products for car and aviation fans. Spectator entry to Hotrods ‘N Helos is free, and vehicle registration, sponsorship and exhibitor opportunities are now available.
