5 Fathers Day... Perfect For A Roadster Show

2010 LA Roadster Show

ABOUT THE LA ROADSTER EVENT

The Los Angeles Roadsters Car Club was formed in 1957 and is still going strong with 30 active members, 15 associate members and 4 honorary members, all with pre-36 Roadsters.

In 1960, the Club started the now famous Los Angeles Roadsters Show and Swap Meet.  Over the years, the show has become a Father’s Day tradition for car enthusiasts from around the world. The show has earned it’s reputation as “the greatest roadster show on earth”. The show features more than 800 pre-36 roadsters, 1,500 pre-72 specialty cars,  a giant swap meet, and commercial vendor midway.

The annual Roadster Show is planned and operated by 30 active & associate members and their spouses.  This is an event that is a family affair and an annual tradition in the street rodding industry.

The L. A. Roadsters are well know for their beautiful roadsters as well as their Club uniform of red shirts and white pants.  This uniform has been a tradition since the Club started in 1957.
