1933 Ford Coupe Bobby Jordan Portland Oregon

A lot of work went into this one  

 1928 Ford Pickup Dennis Portka Hamburg NY

Nice clean traditional look

 1932 Ford Sedan George Poteet Memphis Tennessee

Mix of old and new, but does it draw you in?

 1941 Ford Pickup Ed Sears Annapolis Maryland

Very nice truck

 1954 Corvette Robbie Griffin Powell Tennessee

CARHUNTER top 3 pick, but does it have what it takes?

 1930 Ford Coupe Ted Hubbard South Bend Nebraska

Unique while leaning on traditional Hot Rod look 

CARHUNTER top 3

 1966 Corvette Scott Roth South Burlington Vermont

I knew something was different and this Vette's body is actually 6" wider

CARHUNTER top 3 for sure

 1949 Chevrolet Pickup Robby Collvins Mt. Vernon Texas

I left it for last because I am going to commit this early to this being the CARHUNTER pick for the Ridler Award!

It is hard to really pick without close inspection, but I think the 1st impression when it triggers a thought of something unique immediately coupled with detail after detail on every part will take the Ridler, the $10,000 prize and trophy!

 

What would you pick, will CARHUNTER keep a perfect record?

Stay tuned as I may update over the weekend eventually revealing the winner!  

AND THE WINNER IS?
