Motorama Show Car Garage Ups The Ante With 5 'Great 8 Vehicles'
What was already set to be an impressive collection of national award-winning vehicles, the Show Car Garage at the upcoming Summit Racing Equipment Atlanta Motorama just upped the ante by a factor of five, booking more than half of the acclaimed Great 8 vehicles from this year's Detroit AutoRama and continuing its tradition of drawing several of the country's most celebrated hot rods.
The Great 8 are the eight final vehicles judged to be eligible for the coveted best-in-show "Ridler Award" at the annual auto show in Detroit. Each vehicle is widely considered to be among the most unique and well-built custom vehicles in the U.S. today.
The hot rods scheduled to be at the Atlanta Motorama April 28-29 include:
A 1934 Ford pick-up owned by Danielle Lutz from Hamlin, Pennsylvania and built by Jason Graham Hot Rods
A 1936 Pontiac Sedan owned by Robert Anderson from Savannah, Georgia and built by Legens Hot Rod Shop
A 1940 Ford Coupe owned by Reid Hotaling from Mooresville, North Carolina and built by Farrell Creations and Restorations
A 1956 Lincoln Continental Mark II owned by Chris Ryan from Ninety Six, South Carolina and built by Ryan's Rod and Kustom
A 1967 Chevrolet Camaro owned by Chris and Greg Allen from Shelbyville, Delaware and built by Superior Autoworks
