A Review of the Last 4 Years AMBR Winners
Originally held in Oakland, California, the 68th Annual Grand National Roadster Show is still referred to as simply “Oakland” even though it’s celebrating its 14th show from the LA County Fairgrounds in Pomona, California, this weekend January 27-29, 2017. This weekend the hordes will concentrate at the fairgrounds to see who will win the title of “America’s Most Beautiful Roadster” and take home the 9-foot perpetual trophy. We’ve assembled images of the winners from the last four years to remind you of the previous victors and give you a framework for how past selections has looked. The judges very much favor the clean, traditional method of roadster building as these winners would indicate. The days of the design-y, modern take on old roadsters lost favor with the new way roadsters were judged starting in 2011. While the more traditional winners may not have as much bling or wow factor, they faithfully adhere to the “beautiful” part of their title.
2013 Winner John Mumford 1927 Ford Track Roadster
2014 Winner Wes Rydell 1935 Chevy Phaeton
2015 Winner Larry Olson 1933 Ford Roadster
2016 Winner Darryl Hollenbeck 1932 Ford Roadster
