This year’s Oakland Press “Spirit of Rodding” awards
Again this year The Oakland Press has selected two Spirit of Rodding winners.
As in the last 15 years we look for the person first and the car second.
The “spirit” comes first but you do need a decent “rod” at the biggest and best indoor show of the year “Autorama at Cobo Hall”.
Our judges spent almost an entire day before selecting the two worthy winners. They will receive a classy leather jacket and trophy. Also, bragging rights.
This year for the first time a lady has been selected. She is Yvonne Pipia of St Clair Shores. Her classic style 32 Ford coupe and beautiful lime green paint caught the judge’s attention. Yvonne finished her hot rod in just minutes before the show. A small block Chevy with old-time three carbs gets her going in style.
Also selected was Paul Peters from New Hudson. His Model A on a 32 frame and 32 grille make his roadster an instant old school classic with A 1963 “camel-back” 409 Chevy V-8 and 3-2’s . It appears Paul drives his Rod, and that is something the judges look for.
As a matter of interest both of our winners were on display in the basement area.
Congratulations to our winners of this years Spirit of Rodding award winners.
