2009 Grand National Roadster Show – The Aftermath
There’s too many rocking hot rods… the customs… they’re oozing coolness into the ultra-chromed and engraved super-show low riders. It’s too much and perfect all at once. The aftermath is several hundred photos of who knows how many of the toughest cars anywhere. This is the Grand-daddy of them all, the 60th annual, Grand National Roadster Show.
We’re still arranging the hot rod and custom car pics and all there is to say from the Arizona crew that attended the 2009 Grand National Roadster Show. Starting out, we hit the road for Pomona on Saturday at 2 AM then we motored non-stop the whole weekend to try and take it all in. Only the mariachi band provided some relief.
The pictures we took from the show are now loaded: Hot Rods and Customs from GNRS

Right on Brian! Thanks for not puking in my camera bag.
what about that rolls royce pro street with hemi?
Tod,
That Rolls was bad-ass and the guys supporting it (builders or owners, I’m not sure) were very friendly to the MyRideisMe.com staff. We shot a couple pictures of it, but since it’s been all over the web world since SEMA, we didn’t post much about it yet. Know what I mean?
I love the Hot Rod Special. I didn’t think you could cross a ’32 and a F-1 Racer and end up with something that looks that good.
