Breaking it down

There is an exquisiteness to a classic car show, the automotive construction, the lines and curves, chrome and paint finishes, etched patterns, the art of the pinstriper, painted flames, and decorative artistic impressions, not to mention the kustom evolution of the ride.

This is the Grand National Roadster Show.

Grand National Roadster Show 2023 Thank You

Thanks for the Photos!

Inspiration Everywhere

Every year we have been blessed to receive a media pass for the GNRS. Attending the Grand National Roadster Show is always a fantastic way to start the year, so before going through photos of the show, sending out a Big Thank You to the NHRA Museum for hosting the media breakfast and to everyone on the Grand National Roadster Team.

Thank you!

In the room where the media briefing was held was a wall of vintage racing posters. If you haven’t had the opportunity to explore this amazing museum filled with California drag racing history, check it out.

Thanks to all the fabulous rides. The camera loved the show.

The 73rd Grand National Roadster Show is February 3, 2023.

One of the best classic car shows in the world.

That’s right. The GNRS automotive extravaganza showcases some of the finest classic cars, motorcycles, lowriders, and rat rods. This classic car show runs for three whole days from February 3-5th. The venue also has outside vendors and dining. In addition, locals have a drive-in that fills the Fairplex outside parking lots on Saturday and Sunday. From vintage to present-day custom rides, the Grand Nationals Roadster Show is the perfect way to start the year.

Over the years, we have been fortunate to catch a few beauties.

Always the best, the Grand National Roadster Classic Car Show 2022

The Grand Nationals Roadster Show is back, and the car show did not disappoint. Unfortunately, getting in was a little bit crazy, and the mask ordinance was off the mark, so shooting the car show inside the building was difficult at best. Hopefully, next year the classic car show will be a little more organized, but the rides, well, they were beyond amazing.

Our Last and First Car Show of the Season

Covid Rules in Play

We will be masked up and vaccinated this year which is reflective-the GNRS was the last car show we attended before the virus took hold of the world.

The one true beauty of the Grand National Roadster Show is a lot of it is outside.

Classic Car Paint The Grand National Roadster Show

One of the first car shows we attended for The Ranchero and the Blue Q was the Grand National Roadster Show at the Fairplex in Pomona. As amateur photographers, taking photos of just about everything paid off. This skull held by a whimsical dragon wrapped in smoke and flames was the start of the skull collection. Nothing better than a car show can’t wait for this country to get their act together so we can start the engines.
