THE Los Angeles Roadster club had
the great fortune of perfect weather,
and enthusiastic rodders and swap
meet vendors, which equalled an
extraordinary event, which was held
for the 55th time on June 13 & 14,
- This was the 39th year that the
show/swap had been held at the L.A.
County Fairplex in Pomona. The show
returned to its Friday set-up day and
Saturday/Sunday show & swap, which
seemed to make everyone happy.
The significant change this year was
to eliminate the indoor commercial
vendor building and take the whole
event outdoors. They also condensed
the footprint by moving the event
northwest of the Avalon building and
continuing to the normal swap meet
area. The commercial vendors androadsters were placed on either side
of the main road, and the swap meet
and specialty car parking were on the
far side of the dividing fence. Over 400
roadsters participated along with over
1,200 swappers, and an endless array
of 1980 and earlier specialty cars gave
everyone plenty to do. Spread the word
and plan to be a part of “The Greatest
Roadster Show on Earth” in 2020.

No price was shown so we’re guessing’ ‘expensive’.Big ups for this ’63 Fairlane Country
Squire which looks to be a survivor car.This ’40 pickup has the right look with
perfect rake and wheel/tyre combo.L-R: Ken Stephens’ cool deuce and the new coffee
bronze version he built for Kelly Shimabukuro.
