The Jim Cresta Memorial Car Show is an annual community event organized by El Camino High School to honor the memory of long-time auto shop teacher James Cresta, who died in 2021.  

Mr. Cresta's incredible dedication to El Camino High and his love for teaching have inspired generations of students.  

The car show draws alumni from across Mr. Cresta’s 57-year teaching career along with cars from the 1930s to today.  

Proceeds from the show help underwrite a scholarship fund established in his name.
