The 50th Annual Los Angeles Roadsters Car Show took place this past weekend in Pomona, Ca. The Southern California institution attracted 1,000s of people and cars to the Pomona Fairplex for a celebration of vintage roadsters.

California Car Cover has been a supporter of the LA Roadsters Car Show for many years. I have been going to the car show on Father's Day ever since I was a little kid. It is a DeFrank family tradition for my brother and me to spend Sunday at the show with our father.

Here are some photos from Sunday at the car show:

Our friends at Johnson's Hot Rod Shop made the trip to Southern California all the way from Alabama.

The car show also includes a large two-day swap meet. Even those most of the action took place on Saturday, there was still some deals to be had on Sunday.

Though the main attraction are classic roadsters, there were still plenty of other classic cars and hot rods on display in the car show corral.

Pretty cool delivery truck and trailer.

The midway was packed with people and cars all day. The California Car Cover booth is right on the main drag so we were able to see many of the roadsters and hot rods cruised by all day.

Happy Father's Day from the DeFrank Family

Thank you to everyone at the Los Angeles Roadsters for putting on another great car show. The California Car Cover Crew had a great time and look forward to next year's event.

Our summer road tour kicks off this coming weekend. The CCC Crew and I will be at the MSRA Back to the 50's weekend in St. Paul, Minnesota. It is always a great weekend with 15,000 cars and 50,000 people packing the Minnesota State Fairgrounds. Check back for details next week!

11th Annual LAPD VTAC Car Show in Woodland Hills, Ca

 The 11th Annual Still Saving Lives Car Show hosted by the LAPD VTAC Division took place this past Saturday. The event attracts 100's of classic cars to Warner Center Park in Woodland Hills, Ca. In addition to classic cars, the event also features LAPD exhibits and demonstrations. Since it was a local event, I took the chance to drive my Chevy Nova over to the show and spend an afternoon with some fellow enthusiasts.

A handful of vintage Airstream trailers were on display.

Just one of many classics that was sitting on the ground at the show.

Nice 1949 Oldsmobile

Our friends from the Ventura County Camaro Club were on hand with their Gen 5 Camaros.

Our friend Mitch, from eco-shine auto reconditioning, was there discussing proper car care and talking about our Golden Shine Car Care Products.

June 2014 Pomona Swap Meet Photo Highlights

Sunday morning, the California Car Cover Crew was out at the June edition of the Pomona Swap Meet. The weather was great, so plenty of classic cars and customs were there. Here are some photos of the classic cars that cruised by the California Car Cover booth.

This huge sign directed drivers headed towards the Stadium Way exit as they drove to Dodgers Stadium off the 5 freeway in the early 1960s.

As usual, on the west side of the swap meet there was plenty of classic Chevy cars.  Plenty of 1950s-60s era automobiles were everywhere.

A custom painted and lowered delivery van. Only at the Pomona Swap Meet.

Nice gold Cadillac

It was a fun day at the Pomona Swap Meet. Check back in August for our coverage of the next Pomona Swap Meet. The California Car Cover Crew will be at many car shows between now and then, so check back often.
