America's Most Beautiful Roadster

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"America’s Most Beautiful Roadster" or (AMBR) is an award presented annually at the Grand National Roadster Show.[1][2] It was created by promoter Al Slonaker to recognize the best roadster in-show. The winner's name is engraved on a 9-foot "mega-trophy" that is maintain by the event's promoter, Rod Shows Inc.[3][4] At that time of its creation, the AMBR Award trophy was the biggest in the world.

The AMBR is considered among the two "Crown Jewel"[5] awards for professional show car builders in North America, the other being the Detroit Autorama's Don Ridler Memorial Award.[6]
