The O’Reilly Auto Parts Grand National Roadster Show which takes place in Pomona, California, is the absolute pinnacle of hot rod builds. The show recognizes the top roadsters, hot rods and custom vehicles in the country during its awards ceremony. The ceremony culminated this year’s show and included the presentation of two of the car world’s most coveted awards: America’s Most Beautiful Roadster (AMBR) and the Al Slonaker Memorial Award.
One of the oldest and most prestigious awards in the automotive world, the AMBR award is presented to a vehicle with exceptional originality, style, design and craftsmanship. It is open to all 1937-and-older U.S.-production-based roadsters, roadster pickups, Phaetons and touring cars. This year’s winner, a 1932 Ford Roadster owned and built by the President of Vintage Air, Jack Chisenhall, bested eight other contenders to take home the title’s $12,500 prize provided by Automotive Racing Products (ARP). It also became immortalized on the award’s nine-foot-tall perpetual trophy alongside a “who’s who” of hot rodding, including legendary builders like George Barris, Andy Brizio, Boyd Coddington, Troy Ladd and Chip Foose.
“The caliber of vehicles in this year’s awards was simply outstanding, and we are honored some of the best in the business continue to choose the Grand National Roadster Show to unveil their builds to the world,” said John Buck, owner of Rod Shows and producer of the Grand National Roadster Show. “The ‘Champ Deuce’ and ‘X-60’ Invicta bested an incredible field of contenders to take top honors and join their place in Rod Shows history.”
