Rods, Roadsters & Radical Customs

Visit the world-renowned Oakland Coliseum, home of the Grand National Roadster Show, to see just what was on parade from a very memorable year. 1996 marked the 47th occasion that the nine-foot trophy was presented to honour "America's Most Beautiful Roadster," and as always, there was a whole lot more than just open roadsters on display.

Oakland invariably plays host to the very best rods, coupes and customs in the world. Nowhere on earth will you find a more incredible collection of custom cars and motorcycles - machines that have become an international symbol of the California lifestyle. For every one of the three hundred vehicles accepted to this show, four or five more were turned away; a sign of just how high standards were.

You won't want to miss a second of hte fantastic access-all-areas coverage in this great visual record as constructors battle it out for that ever-coveted title.

It's a visual feast of star cars and bikes!
