The 2009 Best of France & Italy car show was held last Sunday, with picture postcard weather, and a large crowd, proving that there’s a lot of Latin lovers in the City of Angels. And there was something for everyone there- from a car nicknamed after a little mouse, to one that could have carried a lucky elephant.

Spread across the verdant expanse of Van Nuys’ Woodley Park were more Citroëns than you could shake a mime at, and a greater number of Fiats than Tony could fix-again in a single day. Overall, there were nearly 400 cars on display.

Of course Hooniverse was there there, as were some of the hoons from AutoBlog, and we all went around trying to out-do one another with our mad car-trivia skills.
For your viewing pleasure, we’ve put together a super-sized, mega-embiggened gallery of the best of the hoontastic rides that made it to the show. It’s a little bit of everything, as that’s what the show provided- from mice to elephants. You can even do a Where’s Waldo and see if you can find Jay Leno in one of the pics, as he was in attendance.
So, check out the gallery below, and if it warms your brie, or presses your pasta, plan on attending the show next year!
