Delta Queen Car Wash
Campbell, California
A car wash disguised as an old paddle wheel riverboat has kept the vehicles of Campbell sparkling for 50 years. We were surprised how crowded the Delta Queen was when we stopped by, with what appeared to be scores of cars queuing, in transit through the automated washing system in the river boat replica, or parked on the surrounding pavement, waiting to be buffed.
It's more than a typical car wash. The riverside theme is extended with wooden plankways and a water feature. There's a coffee shop, and a gift store with a carp tank. It's next to a Hooters... what more could you ask for in a car wash?
