50TH GRAND NATIONAL ROADSTER SHOW
BONNEVILLE SPORTS VISITS AND VENDS

 

From across the counter of the Bonneville Sports booth we were able to meet many our our regular customers face-to-face for the first time. Rodders from across the country and around the world were on hand for this the 50th edition of the Grand National Roadster Show.
It was great to make so many new friends and get up to date with all of the old ones.
The show opened on Wednesday and new Bonneville Worldwide business partner, and Van Halen rocker, Michael Anthony was on hand at the booth to meet, greet, and sign
T-shirts. What a great way to kick off a great show. I think Mike left full of ideas for a new rod.

The new Tony Nancy 22 Jr T-shirt made its premier at the show and all of the retro-rodders were in heaven. A word to the wise, Tony’s 22 Jr cars are currently on display at the NHRA museum. Check them out. And if you didn’t get one at the show, order a T today 22 Jr is our newest and it is hot.

Ok, Ok, I don’t mean to drop names, but when Eric Clapton (Slow-hand himself), is standing right in front of our booth snapping pics of customs you know something special is going on. This year’s show was especially star studded. It got started early with Tim (Tim, the tool man, Taylor) Allen on hand to unveil and fire up his new Track-T during opening ceremonies. Roadster Show regular, Jimmy Vaughn was on hand all week to show is new ‘61 custom Caddy. POSIE hisself was at the booth on the weekend signing T-shirts and collecting congrats for his new art deco Extremeliner. This is a car that must be seen in person to be fully appreciated. The more you look, the more you like.

Monday evening finally came and Fred Warren’s shocking “Shock Wave” became the Most Beautiful Roadster of the 50th Grand National. Fred made his way through the crowd and on to the stage to receive trophy, congratulations and a custom one-of-a-kind Bonneville 12.4.8 watch from Bonneville president Brad Fanshaw.
