The Grand National Roadster Show is back at the Fairplex in Pomona, California. This video features the indoor display vehicles including the ones competing for America's Most Beautiful Roadster. I filmed all the halls including the Suede Palace, the Car Culture Deluxe hall, and this year's Keep On Truckin display. So many great hot rods, custom cars, muscle cars, lowriders, pickups, vans, and other vehicles of interest at this show.

It was good to see the show so well attended! I drove 60 miles to see it on Saturday but the streets going to the parking area were so clogged with stopped traffic that I headed on to my next destination, returning Sunday well before the 10 AM show opening. The LA Roadster Show this past June was barely a shadow of its former self...those guys might consider a change in leadership.

@MikeFrankovich Жыл бұрын

Shows that car shows can still be a huge draw. Folks come from all over the globe for this event. I did talk to a spectator on Saturday who said it took 45 minutes to get from I-10 to the parking entrance on Fairplex Drive. My advise is to get there early in future years.

@lennartswenson2690 Жыл бұрын

At 72yo, I have grown fairly tired of the "catalog cars", those that can be built with almost no fabrication skills needed. It's not that these cars aren't beautiful and extremely well built, they are! But sadly, even crate engine swaps are becoming predictable and somewhat boring as well. So now I find myself enjoying show car paint jobs. The sheer amount of colors, and knowing that 95% of a paint job is in the preparation, etc! Imagine being the painter of a show car, maybe going for that one more coat of a Candy color, and then something happens to the paint job! That risk vs reward thing. Show car painting is not for the faint hearted. It actually leans more towards a gambler's mentality! As a show attendee, I really enjoy all that the paint industry has to offer. All those remarkable colors and products! That's what I enjoy now!... Thanks for the show coverage!...
