LA Roadster Show 2026 – Pomona Fairplex

The LA Roadster Show returns to the Fairplex at Pomona on June 19–20, 2026 — one of the longest-running traditional hot rod and custom car shows in Southern California. Now in its sixth decade, the LA Roadster Show is dedicated exclusively to roadsters: open-body traditional hot rods in the style of the 1930s, 40s, and 50s that define American car culture at its most essential form.

Unlike general car shows that mix eras and styles, the Roadster Show maintains a strict definition: all vehicles must be roadsters in the traditional sense. This creates a visually cohesive event that feels more like a living museum of American automotive art than a typical car show. The quality of the builds is exceptional — many vehicles have been in families for decades or represent lifetime builds by their owners.

The Swap Meet component runs alongside the show, filling additional lots with parts, memorabilia, tools, and vintage automotive goods for builders and collectors. Gates open at 9 AM both days. The Fairplex at Pomona offers excellent accessibility via Interstate 10 and ample parking across the fairgrounds. Admission available at the gate. For anyone who loves traditional American car culture, the LA Roadster Show is one of the essential summer events on the West Coast calendar.
