Part 2. The Grand National Roadster Show 2026, one of the most iconic and anticipated events in American hot-rod culture: The 76th Annual Grand National Roadster Show (GNRS) took place January 30 – February 1, 2026, at the Fairplex in Pomona, California (1101 W. McKinley Ave., Pomona, CA) — marking its 21st consecutive year at this historic venue. It’s widely recognized as the longest-running indoor automotive show in the world, originally known as the Oakland Roadster Show before moving to Southern California decades ago. Hundreds of exceptional vehicles from across the country were on display: Over 500 show vehicles competed for top honors inside the Fairplex exhibition buildings. An additional 400–800 vehicles participated daily in the 20th Annual Grand Daddy Drive-In, where classic cars, hot rods, muscle cars, and trucks were showcased outdoors between buildings on the Fairplex grounds. America’s Most Beautiful Roadster (AMBR) The centerpiece event of GNRS is the AMBR competition, a prestigious award that honors the best roadster at the show. Winners are celebrated for outstanding originality, design, craftsmanship, engineering, and functionality. Al Slonaker Memorial Award This award honors the top non-roadster vehicle — such as coupes, customs, and specialty builds — named in memory of the show’s founder. Winners receive recognition and a substantial cash prize alongside other accolades. Suede Palace — Showcasing traditional-inspired hot rods and classics that reflect early custom car culture. Fat Attack! — A themed feature focusing on 1935–48 “Fat Fender” cars and trucks, including street rods, customs, pro-street builds, gassers, race cars, and lowriders. Pinstriping Charity Fundraiser — World-class pinstripers create custom artwork on visitors’ items (for charity) right at the show. In addition to the displays and competitions, GNRS frequently hosts industry panels and discussions. For example, at the 2026 show, there was a panel featuring hot-rod legends and industry experts offering insights into careers and trends in the custom car world. Fan Experience Indoor and outdoor exhibits allow attendees to explore a wide range of vehicles up close. The Grand Daddy Drive-In creates a lively atmosphere with vehicles parked prominently and live music adding to the experience. Overall, the 2026 Grand National Roadster Show continued its legacy as a must-attend celebration of automotive design, craftsmanship, and culture — uniting builders, enthusiasts, and collectors around some of the most remarkable classic and custom cars in the world.
