…NOW HERE ARE THE COMPLETE STORIES…
:::::::::::
Ezekiel Wheeler, 1st. Car Culture Curator and his lovely family at the first Auto Conduct in over a year, and kick-off for Auto Conduct Arcade.
- Ezekiel Wheeler, 1st. Car Culture Curator-
What can we say beyond thank you? COVID knocked us down but it sure didn’t knock us out. Thanks to all of you we were able to host our first Auto Conduct in over a year. And just to kick things off we did it at our new facility in Downtown Los Angeles, AUTO CONDUCT ARCADE.
Saturday, March 20th we announced the beginning of our new venture with the founders of The Container Yard in DTLA - Auto Conduct Arcade. We will convert a 1 Acre lot at the corner of 8th St. and Santa Fe Ave. Our 35,000 sq. ft. facility into a content production studio, automotive exhibition hall, a car storage facility, and food and retail hall. Let the build out commence! Follow us on @autoconduct on instagram for all our news and updates and follow my personal account @ac_ezekiel to get day by day updates.
It wouldn’t be an Auto Conduct show without hosting a themed feature car showcase to give you something to look at while you hang out with us on an early Saturday morning. We called our good friends at Grayscale Roasters to serve up some coffee as you enjoyed some of the coolest vans in Southern California.
The best part about this entire endeavor is that we teamed up with the founders of The Container Yard. Finding the right partnership that realized the wide range of car culture communities needed to have a dedicated public centralized space to connect with other like-minded and passionate owners, enthusiast dreamers, and future generation was paramount. We’re proud to start this vision together with them and Auto Conduct Arcade will be a place open to the public; no more private memberships. Simply a great space to come and meet your friends and maybe make a few new ones.
We had everything from imported Japanese Kei vans to vintage American customs and even VIP treatment Mercedes Metris vans and if you were up for it an adventure van from Texino. To top things off we had perhaps the first US sighting and showing of the Kia Carnival production car.
So we would like to thank everybody that attended for keeping us in your thoughts during this past crazy year of 2020 and making sure that we felt the love coming back to our first show with many more to come. We can’t wait to meet you and share a space together.
