God that thing is fugly. I like the HAMB pick better. Much more my style. Its car's like this that have pretty much stopped me from attending Goodguys events. They all look the same. Though I guess the same could be said of Cal-lookers a few years ago. Thankfully we seem to be seeing more originality lately. HAMB's pick for AMBR:  One of these days i will get around to doing a track style T or A with flathead power. --louis |

A straight eight, or even a nailhead, in that thing might actually make it interesting.

For sure they spent a lot of time and money for this "BlingBlingRide" but this wouldn´t be my first choice for AMBR. The HAMBs´choice is good to me!!!  |

The HAMB pick is exactly what a roadster's supposed to be: beautiful in its simplicity.

There was a TV show about how they judge at these big American shows... but I can't remember they ever considered style or purpose...
I love to see good craftmanship... but I hate bling, luckily I can see beyond bling... it actually helps a lot!

That's an old car from the 70's that's been redone isn't it? I have an old black and white photo of it from back the day, it's the one on the left.
Sorry, scratch that, I confused the front grille with Jimmy Hill's chin!

Where did he get her? Gargoyle's are us?
I heard they had a poster of the Roadster on the wall in the shop and when they saw it the other gargoyles all did this!
Looking at that car turned them to stone - so, be warned!

The HAMB pick is exactly what a roadster's supposed to be: beautiful in its simplicity. Thank you. My thoughts, exactly. That thing in the first picture is just horrible. Looks like a girl trying way to hard to get noticed at the prom. A proper roadster is much like Cal Look... less is more. Making understatements throughout the car, but keeping everything sanitary is the key. |
