Anybody know the dates for the San Francisco Rod and Custom Show? I went to their site and a couple others but found no dates. Thanks, Tom
In the past few years the San Francisco show has been getting smaller and smaller...last year the show was down to the main floor with the mega bucks super custom cars and one other room, they didn't even have the the pinstripers panel jam (2 years ago Tom Kelly was there along with many other surviving legends of pinstriping) There was a lot of talk about how the promoter had banned the Rat Rods and normal guy home built hot rods in the larger out buildings due to one bad apple who couldn't hold his liquour. I don't know how much money it takes to put on one of these shows and I am sure the economy put the last nail in the coffin however last year the show was anemic, no energy, no people, a ghost town feel and was just plain depressing, the writing was on the wall....if you consider that this show was the continuation of the Oakland show then this was the first and longest running show custom car show in the country, what a shame to loose it, maybe someone with more money and energy will resurrect it in the future.
