49th Annual Los Angeles Roadsters Show & Swap - You can never go wrong visiting the Father’s Day Los Angeles Roadster Show and Swap. Refered to as “The Largest Roadster Show on Earth,” it is a tradition that has been going on for 49 years now. Many of the 800+ roadsters arrive in Southern California from various places around the world a week before the event opens. They will spend time with friends, visit local hot rod shops & hang-outs, and go to special picnics created just for roadster fans. The weekend show began on Friday, June 14, 2013 with the move-in day for the vendors, sponsors and many of the show cars. All roadsters enter free, they get a free barbecue dinner, and Sunday they receive a custom pewter mug. The main event for the spectators began on Saturday, June 15 and continued through Sunday, June 16.
This year featured the “AMBR Legends Exhibition”, 12 of America’s Most Beautiful Roadsters (AMBR) together for the first time. The US Army also had an epic tribute to our Armed Forces.
The swap meet is also a rite of passage. It is inexpensive to rent a spot and is first come, first served. Sell all that left-over stuff from your last “project”. Buy some stuff for your next “project”.
The L. A. Roadster Club is composed of 12 Life members, 20 Associate members and 5 Honorary members. Those members of the club, their wives, family members and friends volunteer to run the entire show and swap meet and they do a fantastic job.
Thanks for the show!!
