This past weekend, the roar of vintage muscle cars and classic trucks echoed through the roads surrounding Lake Mathews as car enthusiasts gathered for a long-awaited POL Cruise revival. The event brought together a spectacular array of classic American muscle, lifted trucks, and custom hot rods, all shining under the Southern California sun.
The cruise kicked off in the late afternoon, with a diverse lineup of vehicles ranging from legendary Mustangs and Camaros to beautifully restored Chevelles and GTOs. Truck lovers weren’t left out either—vintage Ford F-100s, and Chevy C10s, rolled alongside the muscle machines, making for a stunning showcase of automotive history. As engines revved and tires gripped the pavement, the convoy set out for a scenic loop around Lake Mathews, a route that provided breathtaking views of the shimmering water and rolling hills.
What made this cruise truly special was the camaraderie among the participants. Drivers revved their engines, waved to spectators which were camped out along the route gathered to watch the parade of nostalgia, snapping pictures and cheering as the classics rumbled by.
The cruise ended at Rock n’ Brews, where participants and spectators alike gathered for some well-earned food and drinks. The venue, with its rock-inspired ambiance and extensive craft beer selection, provided the perfect setting for gearheads to relax, swap stories, and admire each other’s rides up close. Burgers, wings, and ice-cold brews fueled lively conversations about restoration projects, horsepower, and upcoming events.
The success of this event proved one thing—classic car culture is alive and well. Whether you’re behind the wheel of a vintage muscle car or just an admirer of these rolling pieces of history, the POL cruise revival was a testament to the passion and dedication of the car community. Here’s to many more miles of cruising and good times ahead!
