I have missed the Grand National Roadster Show the past two years, and I’m not happy about it. Because of a media trade conference that we attend, and scheduling changes, it just hasn’t been in the cards. We’ll fix that for next year. Thankfully, our boy Darr Hawthorne was on site and we’ll have photos to share soon. But the video below is going to show off this year’s America’s Most Beautiful Roadster winner, the stunning 1936 Ford of Ross Myers. The car was built at Rad Rides by Troy, and is something to see for sure.
The style, the fit and finish, and the overall attitude of this machine is something special and I dig it. Most of the cars that are built to compete for the AMBR Award each year are incredibly expensive, high-end builds, and this one is no different. I don’t know how many hours went into building this machine, but man it was worth it. What a neat ride.
Congratulations to Ross and the entire crew at Rad Rides by Troy. Well done guys.
