A pair of six cylinder-equipped competition cars was on display, gathering quite a crowd. The restored roadster belongs to Neil O'Kane and was raced in the '50s by Dale Ambrose and Ike Iacono holding numerous records at California drag strips, including Top Eliminator in 1955 at the second Lions race.
The homebuilt guys were well represented by Eddie Barbosa and his '29 modified roadster, Brian Collins and his Model A coupe, and Bill and Jeff DeVey who cruised in their '34 Chevy pickup and Model A coupe respectively all the way from Idaho.
The five finalists for the Goodguys Texaco/Havoline "America's Most Beautiful Street Rod" were announced today, chosen from a field of over 100 entries. For some, it marks a return to the podium and for other, their first time on the big stage. The class is limited to street rods through model year 1948 and all five of the finalists were chosen here today at the Goodguys special parking area. Check back tomorrow to see who gets crowned "America's Most Beautiful Street Rod".
