We are missing out on The Pomona Swap Meet this weekend, but if you get a chance, head over to a great way to get your car show ride back in gear. We are showcasing a few of our favorites Hood Shots from past car shows. Looking forward to 2022 when car shows are back lining the streets.
As of this date the Pomona Swap Meet is still on.
We may miss the first classic show after the virus shutdown, so we are showcasing a few of our favorites this week of Past Pomona Shows.
Hoping it’s still on August 15, 2021.
The beauty of the Pomona Swap Meet is the fact that you never know what you may find. Our visit to Pomona’s March 2012 meet the Chrysler Plymouth Mayflower caught the camera’s eye. From 1928 through the ’50s, this windswept ship recognized as the tall ships or rocket ships were encased in plastic, wrapped in chrome, created with art deco designs, for more Plymouth hood mascots check out our photo-lines at car-tografi where it is all about the parts.
As of this date, The Pomona August 2020 car show is still on; for past shows, click the pic below.
With most of car shows canceled, The Pomona Swap Meet is currently showing that their car show is tentative for June 2020 car show date. One of the best things about this meet is that you never know what you may find.
Until we get back to what may never be normal, check out past Pomona Swap Meets and the classic car experience.
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.
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.
Always a favorite, The Pomona Swap Meet is a car show/swap meet not to miss. There are plenty of opportunities to catch this car show with. First car show for the year is January 19, 2020. The best part of Pomona is your never know who or what shows up. The swap meet side of things is also worth a walk through. Everything from automotive parts to artistic finds lines the parking lot. Catch past shows and enjoy a great Sunday at a car show.
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.
The Pomona Swap Meet has two sides, the rides, and the swap meet. Divided by the entrance drive-in the swap meet side showcases automotive parts, automotive memorabilia, cleaning materials and other paraphernalia found at swap meets. At the show, you can find the same vendors on the same row in the same space, but the beauty of the show is that you never know what you are going to find from both sides of this car show — looking for a great classic show? Join us Sunday, June 9, 2019, at Johnny Carson Park, it's going to be fun, and the rides are usually off the chart.
