Take a detour through the LA Auto Show
Five VW buses, lowrider art and a Dragon Ball demo give you a different route through the 2026 show. Plan a day at the Los Angeles Convention Center, November 20–29.

Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias is bringing five Volkswagen buses to the LA Auto Show. Somewhere else in the building, you’ll be able to play a Dragon Ball game that hasn’t come out yet. You can also explore the new cars and sign up for drives. For a day out with friends, the interesting decision is which part of the show you want to spend time in.
The public show runs November 20–29, 2026, at the Los Angeles Convention Center. This year’s announced program gives you a route through collections, lowrider art, a restored family hot rod and The Underground’s custom-car community. Leave room for the people who have spent years thinking about one particular vehicle.
Start with the buses
Iglesias has selected five favorites from his Volkswagen Type 2 collection. The exhibit runs throughout the ten public days. You can plan around seeing the buses even while his meet-and-greet dates are still being announced. If meeting him is the point of your visit, check the appearance page before choosing a ticket.
The show’s collection photographs offer a good way to slow down before you get there. Compare the white bus with the green one. Look at the arrangement of the windows, the chrome around the front and the way each color follows the panels. Those are things you can enjoy without knowing an engine code or remembering a model year. Take that same attention into the exhibit and see which detail holds you.
The photographs here come from the organizer’s collection page. Their capture dates are unspecified, and the page doesn’t identify each pictured bus as one of the five selected for November. They show the kind of collecting behind the exhibit.
