At 5:30 a.m. on 6/17, Saturday morning my friend and I piled into my �31 and headed off to Pomona for the 42nd Annual L.A. Roadster Show. The weather has been extremely warm (hot) lately so it was with surprise that we were greeted with heavy fog on the way to the show. We arrived at 6:30 and had the pleasure of seeing the fairgrounds in its� calm, sleepy state before the show began (as you can see from the first picture with the roadsters covered up). We enjoyed the rolling show as we stood by the entry area and watched the roadsters and their proud owners drive in. For over several hours it was a never-ending line of roadsters of all shapes, colors and styles. The vendor area was extensive and the swap meet area was huge. Next to the swap meet area was the �specialty parking� for those of us who drove pre �75 classics and hot rods. This area could have qualified as a major car show all by itself. For those of us who have previously attended, this show is on our �do not miss� list; if you haven�t attended previously, put it on your calendar for next year and you won�t be disappointed. Enjoy the pictures��.
