Bakersfield will welcome 1,700 street rods, customs, muscle cars and street machines at the Kern County Fairgrounds as the National Street Rod Association presents its 45th Annual Western Street Rod Nationals for 2023. Included in this event are muscle cars, the factory produced high horsepower machines from the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s along with the classic cars of the 1950s. This is a truly unique mix of old and new together again at the Kern County Fairgrounds and a national gathering of fine vintage automobiles of every description.
