Over 600 air-cooled Corvairs converged in Pittsburgh for the 48th International Corvair Convention July 23-28, 2018. Since Original Parts Group is getting ready to launch a full line of Corvair parts and components, we thought we’d check out what one of the largest Corvair gatherings was like. (more…)

Our East Coast customers are the best, and they have it harder than the rest of us who restore old cars. Why? Take a look at the images of our stripped 1964 Corvair Spyder convertible to see what we mean. Purchased from the third owner in Long Island, New York, the rust is actually not as bad as we’ve seen in many east coast projects. (more…)
Original Parts Group held the second show of their Spring Summer Series on June 9th with an all-Pontiac Show. With an awesome, fully-restored 1968 GTO of their own, and a deep love of the Arrowhead brand in general, OPGI was loving on all that cruised into the show bright and early. There were a bunch of beautiful GTOs, a slick Catalina on bags, a nice custom Gasser, some classic looking Bonnevilles and so many more sweet rides. (more…)
In April 2018, OPGI attended the 31st Annual Seal Beach Classic Car Show. Each year over 500 classic car owners come to show off their rides to the nearly 25,000 visitors that attend the show.

Take a look at some of the photos that were captured from the event. (more…)
Our 2018 Spring-Summer Series kicked off with an all-Buick car show on Saturday, May 19th. We had around 50 beautiful Buicks in our parking lot in an array of models, years, and colors. With drawings, food trucks, and a live DJ, you didn't have to own a Buick to get in on the fun! Those who did bring their Buicks had their cars judged, and the winners were awarded trophies. (more…)
Original Parts Group has held many car shows here in Seal Beach, California. Our first car show was in 2008, shortly after we expanded our business to this location.

OPGI is excited to announce that we will be hosting five brand-specific shows throughout the spring and summer seasons…
