Have you heard of a company called Street Concepts? If you haven’t, get ready, as this month’s cover car belongs to its founder, Shawn Williams. But before we get into the story of this Mitsubishi EVO VIII, we have a couple questions for you.
CORVETTE GRAND SPORT FANS:
Although few might admit it, Corvette owners owe a deep debt of gratitude to the original Ford Thunderbird. The fledgling Vette, introduced in 1953, was General Motors’ idea of an open-air, wind-in-your-face sports car that was apparently an attempt to recreate Europe’s success with the MG. Unfortunately, the General didn’t get it quite right. The cars were equipped with the underwhelming Blue Flame Six, side curtains for the windows and an experimental body made of that new material called fiberglass, which had more than its share of production difficulties. Only 300 versions of the Polo White cars were completed that first year, and even though 10,000 were scheduled for 1954, only 3,600 actually rolled off the assembly line.
Crowning Glory: Beth Myers’ 1932 Ford Phaeton Claims America’s Most Beautiful Roadster Title
America has just crowned a fresh beauty in the world of roadsters. As the curtains fell on Sunday evening at the 2024 O’Reilly Auto Parts Grand National Roadster Show, Beth Myers’ jaw-dropping 1932 Ford Phaeton clinched the coveted title of America’s Most Beautiful Roadster, securing both the prestigious trophy and a generous $12,500 check from ARP (Automotive Racing Products). This triumph marks the third AMBR victory for the skilled hands at Roy Brizio Street Rods in South San Francisco, led by master builder Roy Brizio. And if we trace the lineage of AMBR winners associated with Brizio over the years, including the 2023 winner crafted by Jack Chisenhall, the tally only grows.
