The 2017 winner of the AMBR Award was this 1936 Packard Roadster built by the team at Hollywood Hot Rods. |
The California Car Cover Crew was on hand all weekend talking car care and of course, taking photos of the incredible vehicles on display.
A few more of the competitors for the AMBR Trophy are shown above. A killer roadster pickup from Goolsby Customs and a signature Rick Dore coachbuilt roadster.
Our friends from Brizio Street Rods always bring some cool hot rods to the Grand National Roadster Show. |
The Suede Palace is home to some of the finest traditional rods and customs at the event. Here are some photos of just a few of them.

One of the most popular exhibits at the show was the Tr-Five building to celebrate 60 years of the 1957 Chevrolet. If you love the 1955-57 bowties, this was the place to be. |
Plenty of vintage race cars and dragsters were on display too. |

In building 4 were all the contenders for the AMBR Trophy. The builders all took different approaches to their roadsters and it shows here. All the roadsters were incrediblly detailed and well built.
