If it’s Father Day weekend in Southern California, then its time for the L.A . Roadsters Annual Show and exposition. In 2022, it was the 56th edition of the event and the 40th time it has been held at the Fairplex in Pomona.

The show was held on Friday and Saturday this ear to give all the dad’s time to have hot rod fun and then be home with their families for “Dad’s Day”.

This iconic event has a winning formula...showcase all those beautiful roadsters...allow in non—roadster hot rods, customs and other cool cars and trucks thru 1972, and hold one heckuva cool swap meet too. The swap meet is legendary as some sellers only come out to this swap meet so finding those hard to find parts can be doable here.

Obviously the roadsters are the stars of this event. They come from far and near to be part of this event. Near as in right around the corner from the Fairplex and as far as Europe, Australia, New Zealand and many many other countries too. Hot rodders from around the globe flock to this event!

Here in the good old USofA, many rodders DRIVE to the event from across the country. For many it’s a first time pilgrimage and for others it’s a traditional and ritual.

The event is HUGE and does fill up the Fairplex. This year the LA Roasters held a special deal for the DEUCE’s 90th birthday. It brought out many cool 32’s that hadn't been seen in a long time.

The LARS event brings many to town early to check out some of the shops in the So-Cal area. Places like Walden's, So -CAL Speed Shop, Stokers Hot Rod Factory, Marcels Custom Metal and other open their doors during the week leading up to Fridays show kick off, for the many visitors.

This truly is on event that if have never been, you need to make it happen! The L.A Roadsters invite everyone to the 57th Annual LA Roadster Show and Exposition on Fathers Day weekend 2023.
