The Car Show vs The Car Show Swap Meet

Car shows have a lot of different venues. There’s the classic community street venue, the in the park on the lawn car show, the big name car shows and then there are the swap meet car shows. Car shows can be exclusive from models to year dates but the one thing most car shows have in common are the classics themselves. Some are pure perfection some are daily drivers but most of them align to the theme of what the car show is all about.  Swap meet cars shows have a different theme altogether, some are exclusive to year dates but most have a different take on what shows up and this is why we love The Pomona Swap Meet. Take the Ranchero and the Falcon; on any given Sunday when they run the show, we may come across a few Rancheros or Falcons in all states of perfection, waiting for a new home by car or by parts. The Pomona Swap Meet allows for the opportunity to see the life of a car from the good the bad and the trailered.  So get out on a Sunday morning and catch a car show, the enjoyment is in the ride.

All photos on the site take you somewhere so click the pic and enjoy the rides.

Pomona Swap Meet December 2017

Pomona Swap Meet

Interior motives

The Pomona Swap Meet, December 3, 2017 was a full crowd. The vendors and classic were not as full but nobody missed the empty spaces. There seemed to be a lot of classic Chevy rides on the ground along with trucks. The usual suspects and a few perfections were at the show but the camera was focused on interiors and parts. The show is in the GALLERY. Next year breaking Pomona 2018 into a new space so there will be 2 slots to view the show. Getting a list of our 2018 car shows ready. Spending the rest of the month putting up some of favorite shots from 2017. Tomorrow look for the pinstripes from Pomona.

The Ranchero and The Blue Q

End of the year and the car shows were fabulous.

 

We didn't get to attend all the shows that we wanted to check out this year but it was a fun time photographing all the rides this 2017 car show season. Weekend car shows/ Motor 4 Toys and Pomona Swap Meet. Thanks to all the classic cars that took the time to bring out their rides and a shout out to everyone that has taken the time to check out our car show pics.

Checking out Pomona this weekend but Motor 4 Toys is a great venue especially for the kids.

End of the year Car Show review 2017

It all started with the Falcon

This year was filled with surprised. The Classic Auto LA was awesome, good to see new shows coming into the So Cal scence. The Orange Plaza Car Show banning dogs was a wake up call even tho the show was fabulous. Pomona Swap Meet is always worth the trip and the Road Kings are back at Johnny Carson Park. Trying something a little different this year for end of the year review. Going through photos from car show seasons for a overview of the shows. Giving Wistia a try for content, there will be a link to their site at the end of the video. Looking for more car show notes sign up.
