When you think 1930’s roadsters you usually think Ford, and with good reason. They built more of them than everyone else and they have been hot-rodded since the beginning. So it is no surprise that more Fords can be found in America’s Most Beautiful Roadster competition each year than any other make. There are always a couple that aren’t Fords, like this year’s Chevrolet and Dodge, but they certainly aren’t the majority. That makes it a little more special that the winner of this year’s America’s Most Beautiful Roadster award was one of the non-Fords, in this case the 1934 Chevrolet owned by Jeff Breault.
Lucille, the 1934 Chevrolet Roadster owned by Jeff Breault, was built at Devlin Rod and Customs with help from Johnson’s Hot Rod Shop, Chuck Rowland Interiors, The Roadster Shop, Wright’s Custom Chrome, EVOD Industries, ARP Fasteners, and FMW, Inc. This one is special not only because it is a Chevrolet, but also because it has this great mix of sex appeal and lurking power. I love it.
The fact that it is LS-powered is not immediately apparent as everything on this car was done to keep the traditional look in place. This car is all modern when it comes to function but keeps that classic style that everyone wants to see.
I think this year’s AMBR contenders were great because they really did embody hot rodding. I look at several of these and think they would just be a riot to drive up and down PCH, and what could be better than that in an old roadster?
