2024 5.0 V8 is the most powerful ever<\/p>\n

A 1932 Ford and 1960 Buick received top honors at the 2023 Grand National Roadster Show in Pomona, California.<\/p>\n

The black Ford named America’s Most Beautiful Roadster was commissioned by San Antonio’s Jack Chisenhall, who had been conceptualizing the build since the 1980s.<\/p>\n

The Ford is called the “Champ Deuce” and its sleek and simple styling was first drawn up in 2000, but the build did not begin until 2017.<\/p>\n
