19 Years of the Best of the Best

For the past 19 years, our Promoters Greg Roach and Bob Symons have brought the Best of the Best to the Pacific NW through a unique invite only format.  Cars can only show once in this non-judged show format that has each invitee receiving a beautiful jacket with the Salem Roadster Show embroidered on the back along with Show Winner.  Because they are all winners through the invite alone.

We couldn’t bring all of these beautiful pieces of automotive art to share with our guests, without a great group of sponsor partners.  If they have a booth or display at our show, please thank them.  If you need a product or service, please think of them first.

Find our Sponsor & Media Guide below, to learn how you can partner with the Best of the Best.

Truly an award like no other.  Each year 8-10 of the Best of the Best compete for a unique sculptured Eagle trophy sitting on a handcrafted wood base of exotic woods sponsored by O'Reilly Auto Parts.  In one of the eagles talons is an actual rough cut Emerald.  Fellow competitors, show sponsors, other show participants, a professional car show judge, and even some attendees, receive ballots to choose their favorite.  A cash prize is also awarded.  This is quickly becoming an award that the builders are shooting for.

This unique show gives the opportunity for our exhibitors to show their love for the cars you wouldn't normally see at a Rod & Custom show.   Rat Rods, Lowriders, Modern Muscle, Trucks lowered, lifted or mini's.  Traditional Rods, and anything that the imagination can build.  The crowds in this hall say it all.  People want to see things that they drive, that they could build, and rigs that are financially attainable.
