Chevy, GM trucks and cars make way to huge 2-day Glendale event

Spend Veterans Day Weekend at country’s largest GM custom truck show

Thousands of American-made custom GM trucks and cars will roll into the 12th annual Dino’s Git-Down this Veterans Day Weekend at State Farm Stadium in Glendale.

The Git-Down is the largest GM truck show in the country and was an inspiration for a GM custom truck movement that has spread across the U.S., including a growth in truck shows such as C10s in the Park in Texas and the C10 Fall Revival in North Carolina.

“We’ve built something special,” Dino Battilana, event founder and organizer, shared in a news releasse. “There has been a 50% increase in the custom truck market over the last few years including parts inventory, manufacturing and apparel. And, there’s been a rise in value for trucks, which are now the number 1 category sold at auctions like Barrett-Jackson, selling for up to $200,000.”
