THE TRADITION CONTINUES!

For more than 70 years, the all-volunteer Portland Roadster Show has celebrated the vision, craftsmanship and horsepower behind incredible hot rods, customs, cars, trucks and motorcycles from across the Pacific Northwest. Produced exclusively by the nonprofit Multnomah Hot Rod Council, formed in 1954, we’re proud to carry on one of the largest all-volunteer indoor car show traditions on the West Coast.

Our new website is fresh out of the garage, so pardon the mess while we tighten a few bolts, chase down a rattle or two and polish the chrome. If you spot something that needs attention, give us a shout!

Take a look around, register your ride, get involved and become part of more than seven decades of builders, car clubs, craftsmen and gearheads keeping this tradition alive.

Fire it up, enjoy the show and join “The Tradition!”
