Hot Rods Wanted: AMBR PICTURES FROM BEGINNING

I found a written list, but does anyone know where I can find pictures of each America’s Most Beautiful Roadster every year since the very beginning? Thanks!

Here's the list for those that like me aren't up on all things AMBR...

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/America's_Most_Beautiful_Roadster

Now @The ****y T theres tons of pics we just have to round them up one by one right up to 1965 and it would be cool to see them all...

The one caveat is they must be Hamb Friendly to post here.

Now After 1965 it's okay to post them BUT they must be Hamb Friendly...I know some are not but believe some are so inward we go...

 

That would make a great "coffee table" book!

@Rickybop...awesome Linkage from our friends at Kustomrama...

 

Maybe you can find one of these prints, 1950 - 2010 winners.

 

Have the eye bleach at hand for 1957.

 

1952 Winner - now in Gr*** Valley, CA area

 

This is amazing!

 

A book would be the best! Like one car on each page with some history.

This is why the Hamb reveres what came before alot of us...I missed the whole period by age...its all an inspiration that I find very much appreciable...I'm hooked for life...right down to the Bias Plies...And You raise another interesting fact...the Photographers were instrumental in capturing what went Down Warts and All...They deserve much Credit as so much of that History is Gone...

...1952 AMBR Winner, **** Williams 1927 Ford Roadster had many incredible details that warrant a thorough gleaning...they are all very cool in their own way it's just that every Hotrod has it's own soul and builders all had there own strengths and ideas...

...This is Franks Hotrod without the Scalloped Paint. Scalloped paint was evidently present in it's AMBR Winning Format as seen above but the Last pic gives a good overall view......Mudflaps and Hotrods, not to Common but not the first time I've seen them...part of the big picture I always say...

Thanks so much for getting these great pictures! I love this car by **** Williams. One reason I wanted to see all the AMBRs is because there are a lot of ‘27s! I’m building a ‘27 T-modified with a flathead (‘49 Merc). This 1953 AMBR is another inspiration for me along with Blackie Gejeian’s car, 1955 AMBR. Also an influence is the Lightning Bug by Norm Grabowski as far as some of the styling.

 

Thank You and You're welcome ****y...

I am going to continue digging up these AMBR Trophy Winners...with help from my Hamber Friends as they have already been doing...thanks team Hamb...

I like to add links with pics with them as there are incredible Threads covering each Winner individually but not compilations like this that I could find...

I look forward to your sharing your T modified project in a Kookie way...

 

I s

I saw the car about two years ago and it was for sale. I don't know if it sold or not.

 

1955 AMBR Winners...2 were Chosen due to a Tie

...This is Hamber @ANDEREGG TRIBUTE's most period correct Tribute to his Wife's Uncle Raymond Anderegg's 1955 AMBR Winning Look

There is another by Hamber Von Franco but is representative of another period...

The original apparently also exists in a private collection...

...Jerry Woodward, 1929 Ford Roadster, AMBR Trophy Winner 1957

As critical as many are of this Hotrod there were many influential features incorporated here such as Quads but that may have been just the reason...too much of a good thing...and it's still with us...
