The Grand National Roadster Show in Pomona, CA is in full swing and we’re lucky enough to have a booth right by the America’s Most Beautiful Roadster contenders. They’re an exciting bunch this year- in addition to the gorgeous Fords, we’ve got two Chevrolet Phaetons (and we heard a rumor that one of these was originally purchased on HotRod Hotline!), a team effort from a Detroit High School Auto class, and even a wild card – the race car from Gerber Special! We’ll be reporting on the show over the weekend, and in the weeks to come, as coverage from some of our terrific roving reporters on the scene comes in. We’ve visited the Century of Speed building for a truly stunning overview of 100 years across the Bonneville salt flats, and we’re eagerly anticipating results of the Trophy Girl contest, and the Pinstripers auction, not to mention sharing photos from all of the other amazing buildings, including the Gassers and race cars. But for now, let’s just take a quick look at some of the AMBR contenders.
