(Photos by Darr Hawthorne) –<\/strong> The 75th<\/sup>\u00a0annual Grand National Roadster Show demonstrated that the world of hot rodding and custom cars is as innovative and popular as ever.<\/p>\n

A record-setting crowd visited the Pomona Fairplex and enjoyed the largest collection of past AMBR and Slonaker award winners ever assembled under one roof. The show also featured a mind-blowing collection of 16 George Barris custom creations. The display, which celebrated the legacy of the original \u201cKing of the Kustomizers,\u201d included the Hirohata Merc, Barris\u2019 1958\/59, \u201860 and \u201862 AMBR winners and the 60\u2019s Batmobile, TV\u2019s Munster Coach and Dragula from the Munsters.<\/p>\n

In addition to the Barris retrospective, this gallery contains just about all the trucks entered into competition.<\/p>\n
