The Show Outdoors
In addition to all the show cars in the various display buildings, the grounds of the Los Angeles County Fairplex were packed with Southern California's nicest hot rods, customs, classic trucks, musclecars, and race cars, all part of the GNRS Drive-In. This is the fifth year that vehicles have been displayed outdoors at the Grand National Roadster Show, and beautiful weather and hundreds of beautiful rides made this a hugely popular part of the event. Here is a small sample of some of what was showing outside.
