Event Coverage 2023 Portland Roadster Show Pics

Well the Portland Roadster Show has come and gone. Was a huge event, took up all the building at the EXPO center. The ratio of show cars to fillers was good due to Portland now being a part of the new West Coast Challenge series making the cars running for points now having to stop in Portland. Place was busy all 3 days during the times I was there. Anyway, here are some of the pictures I snagged from the event.

 

thanks
Excellent photography, under not-the-best lighting conditions.
What make did the radial gold custom and the radical red custom start out as?

 

Thanx. So many nice Mercurys!

 

The Gold Hardtop started as a 56 Ford, car was built by Bill Cushenbery in 1963. The Candy red convertible was a 52 Merc, built by Bailon in 1958.

 

Any more info/pics of the half cammer?

Edit:

Holy smokes, I enlarged the pics, it's all there!

 

Not too many car displays, odd. I couldn't make it, being St. Patrick's Day weekend and me a devout...drinker. Thanks for the pics and Taboo looked good!

 

Very kool!! Thank you for the coverage and the pictures.

 

Its not a half cammer, its a full 427 cammer turned 45 degrees to fit in the stock Model T hole. Was quite the piece of engineering

there was alot of full displays, the area Taboo was was part of the West Coast Kustoms "Kalvacade of Kustoms" display and they were open placements.

 

That is full Cammer laying on its side. An engineering marvel.

 

Thanks for the pics. You going to Rose City Roundup?

 

Great pics, thanks for sharing. I want one of those, and that one, and one of those, OOH Shiny, and that one.......

 

not sure yet. I think I might have something else planned that same weekend. I need to start nailing down stuff on the calendar. Ill have to un-mothball my 33 pickup for roundup if I go.

 

I liked this Aladdin Trailer, two of my brothers, step dad and a couple brother in laws, worked at the factory in the early 60’s.

 

Thank you Taboo56. Lots of metalwork there.

 

Great pictures. Thanks

 

Thanks for sharing

 

Great photos of great cars, thanks for sharing. I didn't make it this year and it looks like I missed a good one.
For those who don't know the Expo center has what are four of five large rooms side by side and at the Roadster show uses three of them that are usually pretty full with the stage and seating set up in one at the far end. It's like going to several shows at the same time and the room that the West coast customs display was in would look like a separate car show than the other rooms.
The show is in C, D and E with E being the main room off the main entrance. A and B usually have a gun show running at the same time.

 

Way cool! It snuck right passed me! Im bummed I missed it!

 

Thanks for sharing the photographs!

 

Very interesting!....

 

Great pictures, thanks for posting.

 

Yep D and E halls were where most of the 20x20 and high level show cars were. C hall featured the High School Challenge, a place where local high school students show off their cars and have their own awards. Some other nice cars on display there as well. A hall was nothing but serious 4x4s and sand rails. Then B hall was mainly where the stage for awards was set up.

 

Great photogs thanks for posting
