Default 2014 Ridler Award

The Ridler award is for the top award every year for the best custom car.

A lot of guys go across the US competing at shows like the Boston World of Wheels and hope to do well at the Ridler.

This year it was won by a 1964 Buick Riviera. One thing that is nice this year is that most years, a Ford car usually wins.

What do you guys think of this car?

Not a fan of the style personally but it is a nice car. Surely built to be a show piece.

I have to agree, I know it's flawless and it deserved to win, but show cars are like art pieces, most people just don't get it but the artist.

I was freaked out sitting in the yenko, I don't think I'd be able to open the door with out worries on that car. Lol

I drive the white car into work most Fridays, but not any more since the snow started. I let freinds drive it too, but they have been nervous driving it, which makes me nervous.

This Buick is very unique though and is definitely a show car.

Car looks great but i wouldn't spend much time looking at it. Its a bit much when every single piece of a car is modified like that. I don't like the rims i don't like how low it is, i don't like the panels under neath, looks chopped to me which i don't like. Every piece is modified. Just not my taste. I know the award is for best custom car so that's what needs to be done and this definitely fits the theme. I like how its not a mustang or a gto. Something different.
