The Friends Of Steve McQueen

The Friends of Steve McQueen Car Show has long been a pilgrimage for gearheads, cinephiles, and admirers of the King of Cool himself. Each year, petrol-fueled passion converges at the Boys Republic in Chino Hills, California, a cause close to McQueen’s heart, to celebrate his legacy through an eclectic mix of classic cars, motorcycles, and Hollywood nostalgia.

The 2012 edition was a standout, capturing the essence of McQueen’s unmistakable style—part rugged outlaw, part refined enthusiast. From period-correct Porsches channeling Le Mans to Mustangs echoing Bullitt’s high-speed chases, the event was a visual love letter to McQueen’s indelible mark on both film and the automotive world.

A look back at the photos from this particular show reveals more than just machines; they tell a story of community, craftsmanship, and a shared admiration for a man whose legend still looms large over car culture.
