HistoryIn 1949, while Al Slonaker was preparing for his first automobile show at the Oakland Exposition, an Oakland, CA area hot rod club convinced him to exhibit ten of this cars at the show.[1] The next year, Slonaker decided to focus on just the hot rods but concerned over press, it was instead called the "Roadster Show."[1] In 1967, the show moved to the Oakland Coliseum[2] From 1998 until 2003, it was held at a variety of other San Francisco Bay Area venue.[3] Starting in 2004, it operated in Pomona, California, at the Fairplex.[4][3] Award{{main|America's Most Beautiful Roadster}}Since 1950, the grand prize award at the show is the "America's Most Beautiful Roadster" or (AMBR) award.[4][5] It is a 9-foot "megatrophy" that engraved the winner's name on it.[6][7] America's Best Competition Car AwardFrom 1957 until 1971, there was a separate "America's Best Competition Car Award" given out at the show.[8] Further reading
