The Grand National Roadster Car Show 2018

Today was the first day of the GNRS, it runs until Sunday January 28, 2018. Tomorrow the outside rides arrive so if you still plan on attending it will be a great day for catching history. The Roadster show is one of the best car shows in the world and showcases an incredible class of roadsters. This year something different rode into building 6, The Rolling Bones Gathering, Hot Rods built by Rolling Bones Hot Rod Shop out of NY. The classic Roadsters are scattered around the room with different scenes representing the Bonneville experience. They have a shop in the corner so stopped to check out the signed edition of Book of Gow, which stands for gas, oil, water, at least that’s what some say according to the books story-line.

While checking out the book of Gow at the GNRS, I started talking with Marty about how beautiful the book was. Here’s where the lucky part of the day kicks in; he introduces us to some of the book authors and contributors attending the show, and they signed the signed edition; thanks, Marty. If you get a chance, stopover at Building 6 for the Rolling Bones Gathering, the Book of Gow is worth the purchase; there are only 2,500 copies in print..

Car Shows: Belmont Shore 2017

Belmont Shore Car Show September 10, 2017

The Belmont Shore Car Show is today and thank goodness we got there early. Gonna be hot! The line-up is on the streets at Belmont Shore so it makes for a great shot with the storefront background vs classics cars park too close together for a good photo. This car show gets really crowded so missed some of the rides by the time we left. One thing about city car shows is sometimes the same rides are in attendance so tried to focus on new classic at the show along with detail shots. Look for photos of the show this week.
Cruisin' 4 a Cure is coming up this month September 23, 2017.

The Roadster Car Show & Swap Meet June 18, 2017

There is still time to catch the Roadsters at the LA Roadster Car Show and Swap Meet.  This is their 53rd year and the 37th at the Pomona fairgrounds. Took to the cool with an early morning start to beat the heat on Saturday. Should be hot again today so get there early if you can, show opens at 7AM. The Roadsters are showcased around the Fairplex grounds with a nice backdrop of trees so there is plenty of shade. Heading over to the swap meet you are greeted with non roadster vehicles, find Cadillac, Fords, Chevy's in all states of perfection. The swap meet is filled with car parts, classic cars and past vintage memories, it is a pretty big swap meet so if you are planning to walk around bring water, it is on the pavement. Building #4 houses the 60th Anniversary of the LA Roadsters Club with members rides and memorabilia. The model car competition and vendors are also in building 4 with more vendors and music located outside. The show runs today from 7-4. If you love history don't forget to check out the NHRA Museum. You can get a quick over view of the Museum at car-tografi NRHA.

Look for photos from the show this week.
