So-Cal Speed Shop Open House 2017

We went out to the industrial area of Pomona, California to visit the 21st Annual So-Cal Speed Shop Open House. The Speed Shop was founded by Alex Xydias in 1946, and continues to have a strong influence in the hot rodding culture. The show serves as one of the many preview shows for the Los Angeles Roadster Show at the Fairplex in Pomona the following weekend. This year's open house was amazing, a lot more roadsters than last year, along with a few traditional hot rods and lead sleds. Throughout the day we saw some great rides drive in, leave, or just pass by to check out what the open house had in store. We also got a quick peek at what the So-Cal Speed Shop is up to inside the garages. Afterwards we drove along with some hot rod owners to the Walden Speed Shop Open House, also in Pomona.

UPDATE: So-Cal Speed Shop announced May 16, 2018 that they will no longer have their annual open house. The 2017 show was meant to celebrate the legacy of Pete Chapouris, who passed away in January 2017. We really enjoyed the open houses we were able to go to, and wish So-Cal Speed Shop the best in their future projects!
