If you do not know the Sam Foose legacy, you can learn a little by reading an article on Hemmings click here Sam was a car-building legend who passed away in late November of 2018 and to honor his father, Chip announced the new Sam Foose Award for next year’s GNRS. He also thanked his business partners and his customers for allowing him to build his dreams, but most of all, to again make his hero proud. He accepted the award on Sam Foose’s behalf and honored his father with a beautiful story about how he just wanted to make his hero proud. “Thanks to everyone who helped us bring this build together, but special thanks to the legend and friend George Poteet who had the vision and trust in the Pinkees’ Team to create this amazing build.”Ĭhip Foose was awarded the Builder of the Decade Award at this year’s GNRS closing ceremony. “It was a huge honor to win the AMBR award among 13 other amazing 2019 builds and the legacy of the previous AMBR winners,” said Eric Peratt owner of Pinkees Rod Shop. “Cool Hand Luke,” by owner and builder Chad Adams, was also another amazing traditional-styled 32 with full-fenders, a 312 Y Block, and Lakester headers. Cory Talbert’s traditional 32 in all black was bad-to-the-bone with a perfect stance and a H&H Flathead under the hood. An aggressive chop-top Foose Designed Brookville Phaeton was very impressive and the all-original steel super classy 29 was stunning! Friend of the club, Cliff Mattis with Lucky 7 Customs, brought a Coddington 32 back to life while keeping true to Boyd’s vision. It was cool to see more diversity in the AMBR contenders this year. Overall, the AMBR competition was high this year, but the Pinkee’s build stood above them all. The AMBR Award went to the well-deserved Pinkee’s Rod Shop 36 Ford Cabriolet named the “3 Penny Roadster.” It received its name because of the unique milky color that reminded hot rodding legend and car owner, George Poteet, of chocolate milk, his beloved childhood treat, that used to cost just 3 pennies. Lots of car clubs from SoCal showed up in a big way this year. The kustoms and hot rods outside didn’t disappoint either. The list of historic cars put on display is too long to cover-but it was a treat to see past AMBR winners, a Barris Chopped 49 Merc, Winfield’s Jade Idol, Barris’ 29 Ford Ala Kart restored by Brizio, and the Cushenberry Ford Kustom-all in their full glory. To give you a small window into how many amazing cars were there, I had to lean over the iconic Jade Idol by Gene Winfield to get a picture of the East Bay Speed and Custom Shop 36 Ford 3 Window Rusk Coupe. The Chip Foose showcase, the Model A showcase, past America’s Most Beautiful Roadster (AMBR) winners, the stunning Brizio collection, and the Rod and Kulture room were enough to fill your phone and your dreams with pictures of drool-worthy high-caliber builds. But it was also the quality of cars outside of the buildings that made the show one of the best. Since its move from Oakland to LA, GNRS has always had a largely curated feel, with showcases within the various buildings, the car quality this year from building to building was truly astounding. and for many of us, it’s the kickoff of the kustom and hot rodding car show season.
