The Pomona Swap Meet

View fullsize

The Pomona Swap Meet showcases on Sundays, rain or shine. March 1, 2020, is the next show. The best part of Pomona is not knowing what you are going to find.
Located on the Fairplex, Fair Grounds, this car show is perfect for the early risers.
Hours are 5 AM to 2 PM and it is best to get there early because it tends to get crowded.
The entrance to the parking lot is always a long wait-car line, even in the early hours.
Parking is $15.00 with $10.00 for admission children under 12 free.

Pomona Swap Meet has two sides. Walking through the entrance on the left is the classic cars, divided by class or make. The right side of the entrance is for the swap meet, which also has a class breakdown but it isn’t as defined as the car swap meet side.

There are a lot of creative artist at the show some of the vendors are there every month so you can check out updated pieces or swap meet finds for any type of kustom build or handmade piece of automotive art.

Swap Meet Finds: Zug Monster created our LONE FALCON 65 and Rusted Gold-Row 29 takes a Ford signature piece and turn automotive into furniture magic.

For Sale

When you first walk into the show, on the right are the VW and Euro classics, and on the left all things Euro/Swap. Moving into the show, find Ford, Chevy, Mopars, further up are the Impalas, car clubs, caddies, and Oldsmobile. The swap meet is broken down by classic car categories and automotive treasures from tires to baby wipes. Towards the very back of the show are the off-the-chart car clubs and closer to the drive-in entrance the Corvettes. The center of the show has food and drink vendors so bring an appetite. Lots of walking at the show and it does get crowded so go early. For more on the Pomona Swap Meet and car show dates check out their site.

Cruisin’ for a Cure

The Ranchero starts the show

Cruisin’ for a Cure was Saturday, September 28, 2019. We took a little under a thousand photos so going through them now for the best camera shots. Walking the car show this year was a lot of fun even though the morning sprinkle probably sent the outside classic car owners into a tailspin.

Tailspin, get it.

Signature Surprise: Kaiser Dragon

Anyway, this car show has a lot to showcase from
Rodder’s to “Off the Chart.”

The Swap Meet

The Pomona Swap Meet was a full house, the lot was full of classics, the swap meet side of things had everything a car enthusiast could find and the crowd was awesome. Most of the camera shots from the show was focused on the hood, two Ranchero’s came into play a great wooden box for the beach van was purchased at the swap meet. Next Pomona Swap Meet, October 13, 2019.

A few of our favorite car shows are coming up.

Classic Car Event Calendar list a few of our favorite shows. Jake our amazing Jack Russell also breaks down dog friendly shows with the listings. This weekend is the Santa Barbara Woodies at the Beach, which is a dog friendly show. This show sits on the bluffs of Santa Barbara City College campus. It is worth the drive just for the view. Missing the show this year, Jake still not up to long drives but if you’re looking for a great show with a single theme, wood, this the perfect car show. Check out last years show and enjoy the classics.

Check out Woodie Door Panel collection at car-tografi, where it is all about the parts.

Stop by the local Pep Boys this weekend to pick up some cleaning supplies while Jake our miracle Jack Russell Terrier is on the mend and found a local surprise, a car show; this is a once a month car & coffee meet so will be sure to check it out next month with more information. Jake is doing much better, so hopefully, we will be back checking out the car show rides. This weekend the Mustangs are at Warner Center Park, May 5, 2019 & The classics are at Rancho San Antonio May 5, 2019
