Completed too late for the 2004 Autorama, The Coupster was invited to the prestigious Willistead Classic Concurs d'Elegance in Canada where it took Class Champion Street Rod and later Best of Show Street Rod at the USMA Nats North along with Top 25 at Frankenmuth. This made it ineligible as a Ridler contender but, taken to the 2005 Detroit Autorama anyway, it went on to take 1st Place Radical Rod Coupe. It has also been invited, by Blackie Gejeian to the Fresno Autorama in 2006. There are only 165 cars invited to this prestigious event and share the floor with the likes of Foose and other top national winners.[!@@Additional Info@@!]Leather Seats
