Eye Spy Series: Pomona Swap Meet
Pomona Swap Meet & Car Show
I didn't really know what to expect when Shaun Juan and Charlie trekked out to get parts for their '61 and '64 Impala lowriders. The last time I made a decision about tricking out my car was passing on 17' rims to backpack Europe.
So I wasn't terribly excited about the trip but the swap meet was so visually overwhelming and the vibe so peaceful that I had to document it.
Overlooked by not knowing car cats on TV, the Pomona Swap Meet has been attracting enthusiasts for the last 29 years to buy parts, talk shop, or trade cars!
Even more fascinating is the diverse crowd. Brown, black, white, yellow, everything. I wouldn't have been surprised if a purple alien beamed in for an aluminum oil pan!
Check out the fly cars, the custom red wagons, the interesting accesssories, and the multicultural crowd!

Thanks Johnny Neumatic, hehe, and Jonathan C. for posting. I'm a big fan of classic cars. Not really for the tricked out lowriders but vintage vehicles with character. Thanks again everyone for viewing the images and posting comments. Have a nice day.
