Over 1200 trucks are expected to participate in the ATHS 25th National Show. The 2003 National Show had over 1000 antique tucks displayed in Syracuse, New York! Click to see the 2004 Poster !

To add a western flair to the 2004 show, it was named the Truck Round Up.
Admission and parking is free to the public. We are anticipating 25,000 spectators. Fontana is centrally located with an excellent transportation network. There is so much to do and see around Ontario. In addition San Bernardino County is close to the beaches, deserts, amusements parks, historical sites, golf courses, sports arenas, and the spirit of route 66.
