August Featured Vendor: I Part Out Chevys
August 1, 2023
Rich Romero is a key figure in the history of the Pomona Swap Meet. He embarked on his journey with the event in 1975, attending the inaugural Pomona Swap Meet & Classic Car Show alongside his father and uncle, who ran a towing company at the time. Over the years, their business transformed into “I Part Out Chevys,” focusing on supplying original classic Chevy parts.
Rich Romero proudly credits his father and uncle as pioneers of the Pomona Swap Meet, establishing their place in the event’s rich history. Today, Rich remains a dedicated participant at the Pomona Swap Meet, showcasing and selling his products. What sets the Romero family apart is their unique approach of bringing in whole cars to part out on site, providing their customers with a transparent view of the exact parts they are purchasing.
As a family-run venture, the Romero business involves Rich, his wife, daughter, and son, all actively contributing to its success. Their commitment to preserving the family tradition is evident in their hands-on involvement. The Romero family looks forward to passing down the business to the next generation, ensuring that the legacy of their expertise in classic cars endures and thrives for years to come.
You can find Rich Romero and his impressive inventory of classic Chevy parts, on Road 18, the even spaces 70 thru 90 at the upcoming August 13th Pomona Swap Meet!

I remember Richard, met him back in ’89 when I had a ’54 Chev. Would visit every time at Pomona. Now I have a car again so will visit his sons family when I attend again.
We all were a huge part, our mom with our dad richard “dickie” romero would gather us up with my dad’s small tow truck and bring cars from Friday to Saturday they had us roxane,richard and myself load and unload cars every swap meet and take cars apart and we even camped out there as a small family. it was all our first jobs. Then richard keeps the dream alive since big richard our dad passed in 2020.
Will go again. Been there 4 times and found parts every time.
