I decided this year to finally make it out to PNW Springmeet, as I hopped in with the rest of the caravan driving west to the show, from Spokane. It was definitely worth the 4 hour drive for Springmeet, or any of the number of shows that the HappenStance crew throws. Easily one of the best old schools shows Iʼve ever been to, and I plan on making the drive over for it in the future.

Old School [ōld-ˈskül] – adj: “vintage; from an earlier time; retro.”
Old School in automotive terms is simply defined as a group of vintage cars dated from the 1980′s and before with a nostalgic aura. To bring many of these cars together in the Pacific Northwest, Mike Tolliver and HappenStance Event Productions collaborated to create the annual The Old School Reunion – this time for its fourth year.
Check out this awesome video of the Old School Reunion that took place this last weekend, taken by Loren Haleston!
We’ll have our photo coverage up soon.

One of our missions here at nw-built is to provide the Pacific Northwest with an outlet where cars and people of all different types and color can join together in one place – in essence, bringing to light the diversity of our region. Last year we took it upon ourselves to fulfill that mission by hosting an event at Golden Gardens in Seattle, WA. It was a huge success being our first big event, and welcomed over 400 cars. Most importantly it showed that people and cars of all types can get together without all of the e-thuggery/flaming, to have a great time and enjoy the Pacific Northwest automotive scene & atmosphere.

Name: Kenton Shaull | NW-Built SN: DubsessedGLI Hometown: Seattle | Current City: Auburn
Spend a few minutes talking to Kent Shaull and you’ll soon remember that it’s the people that make the car scene here in the Pacific Northwest so great. Kent is a family man who believes the most important things in life are family and friends, in that order. He also believes that all things pass, both good and the bad. He is the father of three boys who have already gotten involved into the car scene thanks to their dad. His two youngest even tagged along for the photo shoot and his oldest son who is still in driver’s education already has two project cars of his own. Kent’s boys also help clean and detail the car at GTG’s and shows and it has become a tradition for them to select a vinyl sticker at each event and decide where it should go on the car. Check out the rest of the interview with Kent below.
