2012 Show News

Year 2012 will be the 48th time the Los Angeles Roadsters Car Club has produced its world-renowned show and the 33rd year it will be held at the Fairplex in Pomona, California. The show will be held on Father's Day Weekend, Saturday, June 16th and Sunday, June 17th for your enjoyment.

This year's show will be new and exciting. The show will have a new look and be located in the beautiful inner fairgrounds and in Exhibitor Building #4.

There’s something for everyone at the L.A. Roadster Show. Late model enthusiasts will find the swappers and manufacturers with many of the parts they are looking for, while early car parts will be in abundance for the fellows who are restoring antiques or building that special new car. Come and see the West Coast’s largest trade show, where over 200 manufacturers and vendors of reproduction hot rod parts and accessories will display their products and services. They will have their own special section outside and in Exhibitor Building #4.

By popular demand the Cacklefest is returning in 2012 and will fire up on Saturday at 10:00 am and 2:00 pm in the Specialty Parking area.

Roadsters

Enter through main Gate #1 off McKinley Avenue. The main attraction will be the hundreds of 1936 and older open cars of all types and makes; some original, some modified, but all of the highest quality and completely finished with glossy paint, painstakingly restored to the owner's preference.

Roadsters and the driver are free. Roadster passengers pay $20 for the weekend and children under 12 are free. Over 875 roadsters entered the show in 2010. No flat paint roadsters allowed in roadster parking. No cruising the fairgrounds for liability reasons.
