THE GRAND NATIONAL ROADSTER SHOW
POMONA, CA JANUARY 2005

Trailer Queens Unite!

Beautiful as they are sculptures of steel, rubber, glass and paint these beasts barely drive. I bet the crowd put more miles on their shoes walkin the event than all these cars combined!

For God's sake, what am I to expect? It's the Grand National Roadster Show. The Almighty custom car showcase in the freakin' WORLD. And on this bright mid-winter Sunny Southern California day I take the bike out to a car-show!

It was a good variety of rods, customs, classics, bikes, and specialty vehicles. A lot of interesting vendors at the show too. From mom&pop polish companies to the several semi's of Meguiars.

If you are interested in 32 roadster, then this is your place. My informal study showed about half the cars there were 29-35 roadsters, coupes or buckets. I was looking for the offbeat, different ride out there. Check out the pics, I am posting almost 100 pics from the several hundred I took. They are in no particular order, just as I took them. I must say I am not a big fan of in-door shows. There are too many lights blinging off the chrome and paint that it distracts the eye. The ropes around the cars made it clear these cars are not touched. and the ropes get in the way. Some cars had there own 30x30 space which gave plenty of room around the car but we are kept at a great distance.

Enjoy the pics, but most importantly get out there and enjoy the road. The road that most of these cars never see.

T-Bone
