2010 LA Roadster Show – Father’s Day Special
For 46 years now, the LA Roadster Show brings the best topless hot rods to the Pomona Fairplex on Father’s Day weekend.
2010 LA Roadsters Show
Southern California, no doubt the Father and birthplace of hot rodding, knows how to pack in roadsters for a show. As I’ve mentioned before, this show also packs in every other kind of vintage ride cruising LA’s overcrowded and bumpy highways . Walking what I’ve call the “proper” LA Roadster Show grounds, I shot these pictures. More shots of what’s outside the show are coming.
Utilizing the golden morning sun that finally peaked out of the morning haze, I shot this roadster. Maybe it was parked in the swap area, but it woulda easily fit inside.
While not offering a lot of shade, these palms offer a sweet California backdrop for this dark blue deuce roadster.
I’m shooting what I think are the best detailed engines at the show. That’s why I noticed this black roadster with traditional style flames and wires.
From there, I started thinking of my kids and how I’d haul them around in these roadsters… hey, it’s almost Father’s Day! To fit the whole family, these next roadster, while not your every day grocery getting rides, get you to the show in style!
First, pure hot rod is spoken here: Deep black paint, flathead motivation and details drooling from every clean line…
Finally, kids, how’d you like Dad to drop you off in this cool cruiser? With the unchopped top and four doors for easy access, this roadster’s ready for daily family duties.
It’s late, the show was immense and we all need rest! More pics on the way, so much more you’ll find the best coverage of the LA Roadster Show here at MyRideisMe.com.

I have to echo Ron’s comments on this site. Well done, attractive and an opportunity for guys like me, that have been around for a good while, to remember fun times and bitchin’ cars…that is what we can remember either of those. Speaking of remembering, I vaguely recall going to one of the first L.A. Roadster shows at the Hollywood Bowl (I was a kid), and then for awhile I lived behind the Great Western Exhibit building in City of Commerce where the annual Father’s day show (Sunday only) was held for a number of years. Now I go every year with my own son, and occasionally I see something that rekindles a memory or two. One thing I don’t remember though was having to pay $18.00 for lunch! OK, overall a small price to pay.
As a member of the LA Roadsters, I thank you for the coverage and invite you back for 2011. Look me up and say “Hello”, I do the roadster parking….
Bill, we’ll see you there this year! LA Roadster Show is always alot of fun and the swap meet is one of the best you’ll ever find!
