This years show was a little light but the cars were still off the chart. Putting up the first of 3 car show photos in the GALLERY starting with the Roadsters and inside classics, then moving to the classic that line the outside venue and finally the swap meet. Click on the pic above to check out the first installment showcasing the LA Roasters Car Show. Thanks again to the Roadsters for giving us the opportunity to photograph the show.
The LA Roadsters Car Club has been around since 1957. Every Father’s Day Weekend they have a car show that benefits non-profit organizations. The Ford Roadsters are the key players at the show but many more rides show up to show-off. There is also a swap meet filled with all kinds of automotive finds. Thanks to the LA Roadsters for giving us the opportunity to take snap shots of the show. Look for photos of the show this week.
When we first started shooting car shows it was for fun, still is but now that we post the photos on the site going for the best shot is all about timing and the position of the car.
The Road Kings at Johnny Carson Park, early morning, classics parked on the lawn, perfect opportunity to photo the other rides at the show before the crowd arrives. The Ranchero and the Blue Q sitting on the hill top ready for the days activities.
Two different time frames of this Ford Pick Up were taken.
Once early in the AM when the cars were pulling in and once again during the day.
The early shot was perfect. No surrounding vehicles with a great backdrop.
Later in the day the second shot was taken, the venue had filled up and the reflection from the car parked beside the Ford took over the paint.
Shooting car shows are fun, the people the rides the conversations. Getting to a car show early can make all the difference, when the focus is on the ride.
This weekend catch the LA Roadsters.
The perfect afternoon. Thanks to the Road Kings for another great car show.
Car show photo are in the Gallery.
We beat the heat going to Pomona on Sunday. This swap meet car show was full parking on arrival and there was a great crowd. The venue seems to be working on getting into the parking lot faster and changing up the structure of the car show with new pavement and closing off parts of the entrance for easier walk in. The show had the usual suspects including the Ranchero sitting on a trailer in need of some love. Volkswagens define the entrance at Pomona and this little bug was a colorful ride the camera captured on the way out. The Chevy crew seemed to dominate center court and of course the back-end was filled with an awesome line-up of car club perfection. On the swap meet side there was a lot of stuff for anyone looking for anything. Our purchase a new fire extinguisher for the truck, everyone should have one. Look for a quick over-view of the show this week. Next Pomona Swap Meet is August 12, 2018.
Pomona Parking Tip: If everyone had their $12.00 parking lot fee ready the line to get into the lot would move faster. There is usually no waiting to get into the venue and that fee is $10.00.

This is one of our favorite shows, not because the rides are car show perfect because they are not. This is a full blown swap meet for cars, car parts and lots of stuff. It is also a great place to see the good the bad and the cool. It starts at 5AM and ends at 2PM, so getting there early is the key as the parking lot fills up by 7. No matter the time-frame there is a lot to see and bring home.

car-tografi is all about the parts, a breakdown of the components that make the ride from hood mascots to pinstripe details, letting the hounds out with radiator caps is a collection that inspires the Ford.
