Father’s Day Hot Rod Show
On the first Sunday of September, West Coast Street Rod Club, based in Perth, Western Australia, holds it’s annual Father’s Day Hot Rod show at St. Patrick’s School in Fremantle./Being right at the end of a southern Cyberville winter, the weather for this outdoor one day show is often threatening
if not a bit wet.
This year is was another perfect spring day that brought out about 75 hot rods for a stretch in the sunlight.On the day, the show has a very simple format. No entry forms, no tissy displays, no costs no roof. It is a run what you brung affair with rodder’s category choice and people’s choice trophies presented later in the afternoon. Just turn up at the right time and the organisers will rope off your hot rod from the viewing public.
After that the choice of activity is yours. 
Fremantle is a lively port side city. There are dozens of restaurants, coffee shops and bars. You can checkout the hot rods, take photos, talk hot rod stuff, catch up with old friends, go home or spend the day in the busy Fremantle tourist precinct. Go to a movie, markets, museums, shop, drink, eat, watch the buskers etc. Being Father’s day it is a good way to show off your rod hassle free and enjoy a great time with the family.
Being the first event on the hot rodding calendar after each winter, it often brings out a few new cars and this year was exception.This year there was another strong showing of trade dispays that showed their wares of hot rodding parts, clothing, badges, and hot rod building services. Trevor Breeze showed up with a stand featuring about four cars and a chassis and a sound system and music for the whole precinct.Armadale Auto Parts had plenty of shiny hot rod bits on display. It is better than shopping for shoes.
Ian and Sharon from Real Steel had mostly clothing and badges on display this year.All in all it was a great day promoting hot rodding to the masses. Showing them top dollar cars and also showing them that hot rodding is affordable by having several high quality budget built cars on display too.
