Featured Event Coverage Blues4U's Photos Grand National Roadster Show 2025

Hey guys, I haven't been around much for awhile, but I though you all might like to see what's happening out at the GNRS this year. These are just some cel phone pics I took today (move-in day). The show officially opens tomorrow. I'll post better photos later took with a real camera as I get a chance.

 

Thanks!

 

Good stuff so far !!!

 

Blues, thank you for the pictures! I’m in love with the green ones!

 

Wow ! Thanks !

 

This is it for now. I've got a gig tonight I need to get ready for and head out of here for a soundcheck. Tomorrow I'm planning on heading back for more. I'll post more photos when I get a chance.

 

Green and orange seem to be the colors this year

 

Damn, there's some beauties....Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm 427 SOHC.........

 

Thank You for great pics !!! I Really like The cool T-Ford made like Rod Action magazine feature !!! Althought AMBR will be ( my quess ) Myers Fenderless `36 Ford.

 

Pretty darn nice photos for a cell phone. Can't wait to see what you do with real camera. Thanks for posting all those photos. Looking forward to more!!!

 

Where have you been??? This band sucks without a bass player man!

 

Hey Blues, thanks for the pix!
Green cars aren't for me, saw too much Green in the Army.

 

So the green 36 roadster, is the top foldable or one piece lift off. I love the brightwork trim around the back and the door openings. I can't say I have seen that done before. Has to be a lift off but do they allow that not he AMBR cars? I would think they would have to retract. Asked out of ignorance but with a good heart.

 

Thanks for bringing it northward @Blues4U...nice seeing a mix of shiny and not so shiny...

 

On the picture of the show board for it, under upholstery it says it is a lift off. I dont think there has ever been a rule to even actually having to have a top on the car, just has to be a "roadster" (I think have seen a cabriolet in the running once). The top is just extra points in judging, that is why it drop top show cars show with the top up, you gain points in judging. Sunday is the day you can usually close the car up or let the top down if the car looks better that way, but if the judges need to look your car over last minute that could hurt you. I know when we had the 56 at GNRS, on Sunday morning the entire judging staff went over our car after we had dusted it.

 

Makes total sense buddy, thanks for the add. If I was a judge I would award high points for an "onboard" top. It just make the car more of a car in my opinion and less just art. Lift off tops (I have had two vetted with them) are practically worthless as drivers, IMO. But then again, consider where we live! An onboard roof is a bit mandatory in the PNW.

I once left my T-Tops at home so I could make room for my golf clubs in the trunk in one of the Bandit TAs. That day ended up with me soaking wet and sitting in a puddle of water. Squishy!

I would make a lousy AMBR judge.

 

Great pics .. thanks for your time Blues ..

 

That open wheel green 36 roadster is just plain KILLER!!!! Looks great from any angle.

 

Blues, Thank you for the coverage & pics. I have been missing your car show pics!

 

Thanks for the pictures , I am down here, hope to see you.

 

Just taking a break from the action. Then I had to have heart bypass surgery last fall, I was down for 3 months recovering from that. Really just getting back into things now, able to go out for a full day like this.

 

Cool! Do you have a car in the show Marty? (your 40 pickup by chance?)

 

NICE! Model A Coupe on '32 rails and full fendered with a full hood.

 

Thanks for the pictures. We'll be there Saturday morning. Hope to see you there.

 

More Great stuff, Thanks. Glad to hear you’re on the mend!

 

Thanks, many of us will likely never be able to go, so we really appreciate this - going back for another look, and my legs aren’t even tired.

 

With the handle blues-for-you, there sure are a lot of green cars so far. Keep up the good work, welcome back.

 

If I remember right, it is a different kind of blues.

And, thanks for all the great pics @Blues4U
