Congratulations I’m stunned at how clean the car looks and how the detailing compliments but doesn’t take away from the statement. High design ,WOW WOW WOW

Seeing Gene Winfield always warms my heart. Good to see him still at it. One of the nicest guys ever.

I agree--he's a gentleman. I met him when the newly restored Jade Idol debuted (about 1980) at the Oakland Roadster Show. He generously let me sit in it.

the video was a good balance of car and interview. well done. beautiful cars.

Deserved winner.That 57 Chevy is stunning! The paint work !! My God I thought they were photo flashes going off from the reflection of the car as it turned. Amazing !!!

Personally speaking, it was an eight way tie! Firm believer in the old adage, if you can't do it right, find someone who can. Awesome each & every one of these eight!

I really liked the California Flash! It moved and sounded great just like it did when it ran at Lions drag strip decades ago!

I hear ya, I was like cool one that moves and can be driven. should be a requirement to drive in and out.

One of the first jobs I ever had was body work at a paint shop. There's not a lot of people who can do work on this level, no matter what you pay. It takes a real skill and tons of experience. For those knocking the owners for not doing it themselves, you have to realize, no one can compete on this level all on their own. You need masters in each aspect in order to put together the best, and owners are the ones with the vision and connections to make it happen.

Bodywork is a skill that takes years to master & very few ever reach the level to create these beautiful masterpieces ✌🏼

It's funny about the Ridler award--as a west coaster, we'd never heard of it before the www. It was all about the Oakland Roadster Show and the AMBR trophy. We still joke that the only "Riddler" we heard of was on Batman.

The 57 is SUPER nice!!! Totally different. Typical trim all gone. Love the look and appreciate the unique style and look. Nice work!!!!

Congratulations to the winner.... fantastic video 👍👍👍

I was there! Love going to this show. I am hoping there will be a 2021 show.

Holy Heaven, the 57 Chevy is the absolutely big hammer. That is a very very fine car. Fantastic work men, this is the best example for that what people can make from older cars. The others are great, but this is my favorite. This is art, not car building. And they win this thing, a good day for me.

Amazing, so good to see.

I used to work with a guy who was a judge for this show. His specialty wasn't this category but the original stock. The level in which they verify parts and how they can tell by the smallest details what is original and what is not is unreal. He can look at an antenna and if the original has a little dimple in the base, that means is was supplied by the Cleveland shop and is between 1952 and 1954 for example. If it has a triangle mark then it came from Pittsburgh. No shit, that is the level these guys operate on. The only way you can get a 100 point car is to have bought it original, drove it straight into storage with all the paperwork and tags, then break it out 50 years later. He's only seen one 100 point car in his 30 years doing this. A 92-95 point car is rare. So if you do find that car that was put away and never driven, you'd have some serious bucks.

what a great production

I wasn’t surprised at the choice of winner - was def the cleanest, nicest example of such a cliche car that I’ve ever seen. All 8 were great, which is more than I can say for other years. I want to see that Mark II with the trunk closed though!

So much for using chrome cabinet knobs to accent grilles. It’s cool to see stuff that costs more than an average house that’ll never drive on a public road. I’d love to go back in time before people used CNC and billet everything.

All winners, no losers...but that candy red Lincoln is so dreamy!!

The Lincoln the 57 and the 69 are probably my personal favorites

If you listen, not many car owners actually build a car/truck anymore, they farm it out to people with the talent. Personally, when that big MOPAR Plymouth lit up, that sound was awesome. Did not see any other Trailer Queens that come close. They are beauty but can and are there any that hit the streets, ever?

The 1936 Pontiac is BADASS! Love the stance, nostalgia and overall gangster attitude it has!

My two picks would have been the gold Camaro and a 56 Continental and not in any particular order I was surprised the 57 all those slick as snot was just a little to sedate on the outside yes it was heavily modified but that gold paint on that Camaro and the flake on the Continental was outstanding

Guess the 34 Ford pickup owner doesn't understand that you earn no praise or deserve any either when you pay someone else to design and build your ride. The truck is sweet but she may as well have said she bought it because that's pretty much what she did anyway.

The gal who owns the truck said she acquired the truck from family and wanted it restored. She wanted a blue truck with a tan interior, she wanted pouches for her phone on the door panels, and a hood. The truck came with a quick change rear end... in the bed..., clearly this truck will haul nothing butt ass. The interview of the gal with the 1934 ford contains more information than the sum of her words. There is an an unspoken duality to her story. This entire car show seems to have a creepy vibe that escapes explanation on a KZread comment. Did anyone in these interviews mention Nitrous Oxide? ...or do they let that go unspoken of while competing for the $10,000 Ridler Award? The Autorama appears to be a cult of like minded people to me. The Ridler Award is not the prize here.... something else is going on.

Every riddler Chip foose has won he built the car for someone who cares if they did not build it them selves

The girl with the Ford pickup goes on and on about how "into" cars she is, then the story is basically, "Somebody gave me a truck that was given to them, somebody else built the entire truck for me, I didn't do anything, I don't know anything about it, I like the color blue." ( ')__( ')

These cars are the definition of heart and soul

You can tell that some of builds took the better part of a decade to build by their use of older and different brand engines. GM ZL1 Ram Jet in a Ford... that's so 2000-late.

This early. Older model continental is a very beautiful car and the 57 Chevy is a fine example of a tri 5 Chevy and shows some of the old classics can be updated and made into a beautiful custom and the 39 Ford sedan delivery and so is the 40 Ford coupe which both are fine examples of old school hotrods and and the 36 Pontiac is another example of an old school cruiser 😊😊😮😅😅❤😊

I used to build cars like these...I sacrificed a lot of time building these cars for other people and made it to the great 8 one time while working for a company.... While it was gratifying it was also depressing..... A Fabricator can spend 10 to 15 hrs a day for months on end ...years go by to build custom parts for these cars and never once get mentioned for doing so in one of these interviews. And while I did learn a lot ,looking back I will never do it again I will only build cars for myself that can be driven. Trailer queen’s and cars that only run for 60 seconds at a time so the exhaust system doesn’t blue ...fuck that!

Some cars have the it' factor and the '57 has it......Wow!

I am glad that 57 Chevy won. Finally somebody had the guts to knock off all the ugly off a 57 Chevy and turn it into a stunning car. This is the only 57 Chevy that I like. Out of the tri-fives, the 55 was the best overall, the 56 had some strange styling in the front but the best looking rear end, the 57 was always to gaudy.

This is todays millionaires playground but the results are certainly impressive and show that talented craftsmen are still around. Us old farts are lucky to have lived in an era when you built your own rod to your specs and not under the auspices of the federallies and then ACTUALLY drove it on the road-- and usually daily on Chevron Supreme 100+ at 24-30 cents/gal. My first sleeper rod was a ’51 Pontiac with 348” Olds V8 tied to a Packard 3-sp+OD; drove that car for over 55kmi. until I sold it, still running.

I like the white Pontiac. Different for sure.
