2023 Grand National Roadster Show: AMBR and Slonaker Winners
The Grand National Roadster Show is one of our favorite shows of the year. There's no shortage of great cars, and the outrageous machines on hand to compete for the America's Most Beautiful Roadster and Slonaker awards send it over the top. Here are the AMBR and Slonaker winners, as well as a gallery of other cars that caught our eye.
2023 AMBR Winner
You may recognize the name Jack Chisenhall as the man behind Vintage Air. He's no stranger to cool hot rods, and it's not surprising at all that he helped out with the build of this '32 roadster in his own shop. It's powered by a 355-inch early Hemi and features Indy roadster-inspired details throughout. We've seen plenty of more garish cars end up with the big trophy at the GNRS, and we're thrilled to see a bad, black, traditional roadster at the top of the heap this year.

Slonaker Winner
Many congratulations to our hometown heroes (okay, home state) Andy Leach and the crew at CAL Automotive Creations for winning the Slonaker Memorial Award with their outrageous X-60 Invicta Custom built for customers George and Angela Eliacostas. It was built with a GM concept car flavor, and the display drove the concept home. It's powered by a wild Nailhead with a crank-driven blower that was just on our dyno not that long ago. It's an amazing car and we're thrilled for Andy and Co.
