What is the Pink Patch Project? Our Pink Patch Project is an innovative public awareness campaign that is designed to bring attention to the fight against breast cancer and to support City of Hope in combating the disease. The police officers sold Pink Patches and Pink Patches T-shirts to the guests. All of the proceeds were given to the City of Hope.

Monterey Park Police Department also sold Blue Patches to remind people about Autism Awareness.

The Car Show was held on October 7^th in Barnes Park when many classic cars were on display by their proud owners. The picture is of a Classic Impala and a Classic Monte Carlo.

Many of these Classic cars were manufactured by Chevrolet, one of the most popular cars owned by many young men in California.

The Pink Impala presented by Felix Chevrolet drew a lot of attention from the guests at the car show. “Felix character was borrowed from the popular 1920s cartoon “Felix the Cat” by pioneering L.A. automobile dealer Winslow Felix, who opened Felix Chevrolet in 1921 at 12th Street and Grand Avenue. Felix was a friend of filmmaker Pat Sullivan, whose animation studio created the mischievous feline character.”
