What types of vehicles are in the parade?​
-
We're looking for classic cars and classic trucks, we're also looking for unusual vehicles - we've had a restored milk truck/van in the parade, we've had a decorated trash truck, a 1932 Ford Phaeton, a 1956 Ford COE (Cab-over-engine) Truck with Jack Skellington riding and even a 2012 International 4400 towing a backhoe with Drippy the San Bernardino Municipal Water District Mascot riding the backhoe . Also some vehicles that aren't classics are in the parade because they're performing necessary parade functions - carrying characters for example - or they have parade staff in them doing parade duties (directing the parade, tweeting the parade location, etc.)​
