The Portland Roadster Show has been owned and produced by the Multnomah Hot Rod Council since 1956

 

Vehicle Exhibitor Information

Welcome and thank you for your interest in the Portland Roadster Show.

We are very proud to be a part of the longest running hot rod show of its kind in the country. Our rich heritage was founded by a fellowship of car enthusiasts here in the Pacific Northwest. This fellowship endures, and today the Portland Roadster still promotes cars, clubs, and community spirit.

We look forward to meeting you and your family and producing a truly great show at the Expo Center…A place where your cars are the Stars, and Hot rod Family Fun is the order of the day. Hope to see you soon!
