America's Most Beautiful Roadster

"America's Most Beautiful Roadster" or (AMBR) is an award given out at the Grand National Roadster Show since 1950.[1][2] It was started by Slonaker as a 9-foot "megatrophy" that engraved the winner's name on it.[3][4] At that time, it was the largest trophy in the world.[4]
