Preservation of American-made Open Cars from 1936 and older
(1)

The club is dedicated to the preservation of American-made cars from 1936 and older that have been modified for appearance and improved performance. The American hot rod was a unique activity for American G.I's returning from WWII in the late '40 and early '50s.

"It may not seem like much but taking home that pewter mug each year really is something special. I suppose I will always own a roadster just because I will always want my chance to “get” one more mug." -Brian Brennan of
The tradition of the pewter tankard that the L.A. Roadsters hand out to each rodder who brings their roadster—and sticks around until leaving time to pick it up -- began in 1960.
Don't miss out on the chance to add one more of these custom engraved, English-made, commemorative pieces of history!
