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 Road Kings at Johnny Carson Park June 9, 2019

The Road Kings go to the park.

Johnny Carson Park was re-developed a few years back if you look at our archives from previous shows the classics are visible from both levels. Now the riverbed has filled up with trees and brush, so the classic car show featuring the Road Kings has split in two. The lower half of The Road Kings at Johnny Carson Park is in the GALLERY, look for the upper-level tomorrow. Catch a car show and enjoy the ride!

Pomona Swap Meet June 2, 2019

At the Pomona Swap Meet

There is always something going on at the Pomona Swap Meet. Getting there a little earlier than normal paid off but they still need to let everyone know that the parking entrance fee is $12.00 so the line moves faster. The show was great, lots of cars moving in and out of the venue. Car clubs came out with their rides along with a few Rancheros. The vendor swap meets side was all isles full, and the dragon was one of our best finds, along with a vintage flyer wagon. Photos of the June show is in the GALLERY. Look for the swap meet side of things this week along with the metal artwork that goes with the dragon sculpture from the last post. The next Pomona Swap Meet is August 11, 2019, going to the Road Kings at Johnny Carson Park June 9, 2019.
Find a car show and enjoy the rides.
