Photos: Classic Rides Roll into Encinitas

Coast Highway 101 was lined with hotrods, woodies, and candy-colored drop-tops Thursday night for Encinitas Classic Car Night.

The Downtown Encinitas Mainstreet Association (DEMA) has kept the local tradition rolling for 14 years, and Thursday night, it was clear the event is as popular as ever. Checkout photos of some of the classic cars that drew crowds—and if you took any photos, add them to our gallery.
