Bomb Club So. Cal Car Club

Who They Are

Bomb Club So. Cal is a Los Angeles-based classic car club with deep roots in Southern California’s traditional car culture. Founded around 1999, the club began with a tight group of about seven or eight friends who first came together at the Pomona Swap Meet, one of the most iconic gathering spots for hot rod and vintage car enthusiasts in the region.

True to its old-school spirit, Bomb Club So. Cal is a single club with no chapters and no president, built on the belief that every member has a voice. It’s a community that values authenticity, equality, and shared passion over titles, something that has helped the club maintain a strong identity for decades.

What They Do

Bomb Club So. Cal’s presence is felt most strongly at events where classic cars and community support intersect. The club regularly participates in and supports toy giveaways for kids during Christmas, along with various fundraisers throughout the year. While they don’t tie themselves to one specific nonprofit, the club is consistently involved in causes that benefit local families and communities.

Their biggest annual moment is their large-scale car show held in Arcadia at Santa Anita Park, a standout event that draws attention from across Southern California’s classic and custom scene. Their next show is scheduled for June 6, 2026, making it one of the major dates on the SoCal calendar for fans of vintage iron.

Outside of official club activities, many Bomb Club So. Cal members stay active in the community by regularly attending local car events, keeping the club visible and connected throughout the region.
