Bill Jerry's 1932 Ford Roadster of Jay, Maine. The build started as a 5-Window Coupe in 1949. In 1951, he replaced the coupe body with a roadster body. By early 1952, it underwent a substantial aesthetic update, receiving a fresh coat of paint at a local Chrysler dealership. Peter Bennett of Portland, Maine owned the old hot rod in 2024, by then, it had seen many roads, drag strips, and shows.

Josh Haagen's 1950 Buick Roadster of Bangor, Maine. Josh bought the car in 2012, and is currently looking for info on the car.

Guy Boucher of Lewiston, Maine bought and restored Don Fletcher's 1957 Chevrolet 210, The El Capitola, back to show condition.

Mike Maurice's 1963 Chevrolet Bel Air of Biddeford, Maine. Known as "Spill the Wine," Mike wanted to create an alternative to the cliche lowrider of today when he set out to restyle the Bel Air in 2017. "My goal was to bring back forgotten trends in books like Popular Customs." Featuring a panel paint job by Richie Borrelli, the build was completed in 2019.
