This is the 66th Year for the Grand National Roadster Show, and by the beautiful cars already on display, it’s going to be a doozie. This year, there are 18 contenders for Americas Most Beautiful Roadster. Stay tuned to find out who the ultimate winner will be. Check out the entrants below. Photos by Roger Rohrdanz.
Updated 1/26/14: In our original post, we’d attributed Per Martinsen’s gorgeous ’32 to Larry Christenson, who’s got his equally beautiful, but entirely different ’32! Thanks to readers for pointing out our error! We were so busy at the show that we didn’t double check as carefully as normal!
