HALL OF FAME HISTORY

  The Portland Roadster Show Hall of Fame was initiated in the early years by Show Chairman Bill Peterson and the Multnomah Hot Rod Council as a special achievement award for the Portland Roadster Show.  The Hall of Fame recognizes vehicles that have won Top Awards at the Portland Roadster Show and achieved National recognition or Awards at other major car shows.  Once inducted Hall of Fame vehicles may only show as a Hall of Fame display in the Portland Roadster Show and will not be eligible for future judging or prize money.  The Hall of Fame may also induct Honorary Members known by their tremendous contributions to the automotive hobby, MHRC and charitable community work.  The vehicles ambassador or honorary inductee will receive a jacket and an engraved silver platter in recognition of this very special award.
