Our club, Inland Mopars Car Club, works the Grand National Roadster show each year. During the course of our "work" we get to see some truly outstanding cars and workmanship. Over 600 cars fill the buildings at the Fairplex in Pomona. In addition to them, up to another 500 cars drive in on Saturday and Sunday and display in the areas between the show buildings.
Most of our work is in the main show building looking out at the 10-12 cars that are competing for the AMBR (America's Most Beautiful Roadster) award.
Following are pics of the AMBR competitors and some of the other cars that caught my eye.
Enjoy!


This is the AMBR trophy. The winner each year gets their name added to the base.

This entire car was built with correct original year-of-manufacture parts from 1932. It was a real surprise to hear when it started up - sounded really NASTY!

It seams like they are getting away from Hot Rods, and going with more of a stock look. Not sure if I like it...
 
Here's some Mopars, and others that caught my eye, from the non-AMBR contenders that were at the 2014 GNRS...

This '47 Dodge was the 'Best of Show' winner at our club car show last year.

The GNRS show theme this year was "The Need For Speed" and Bldg. 9 was devoted to "100 Years of Salt" and a great display of Bonneville racers...
