My favorite is the '41 Willys with the '32 ford roadster next in line.

Right now I'd have to pick the 36 ford pickup, 41 willys, 67 pickup, and 56 chevy wagon. Then again, my vote could change once the undercarriage pics are shown. Really need to see those to decide. The 55 Chrysler is pretty good as well. Without the undercarriage pics, as of right now I'd say its between willys and the 36 pickup. I'm guessing that truck is probably Foose built. Sure looks like it.

The 55 Chrysler wagon is awesome. Chip's Hemisfear motor and wheels with Mike Curtis' lights and grill *** awesome. The design and execution is killer. Great interior and bottom too. Check out the wild gauges!!! My choice hands down.

Look at all the smooth lines on that 55 Chrysler wagon! wate a minut did I say wagon Crysler or shuld we say Desoto never made a wagon in 55 this is one smooth custom. Chips Hemisfear looks totaly awsome with all the mods.The under side of this baby is one for the record books COOL ____ CAR

My vote is for the rambler, pictures don't do it justice. You cannot see the detail of the splined wheels, engine compartment among 100s of other things.

I am a little biased though, I did the EFI and engine wiring for the car. At the show it seems to be a crowd favorite.

I like how they included alot of oddball cars in for this years award. I can't remember the last time I saw so many wagons and Pickups. A good variety is nice evrery now and again. I definetly like the 55 Chrysler the most out of all the cars. Not sure if it will win though. By the way I'm really digging the Rambler as well.

The 55 Chrysler(Desoto)Wagon is my choice. Desoto did not make a wagon in 1955 let alone a 2 door, Great lines to make it look like the new Chrysler wagons of today. excellent looking motor, 100's & 100's of hours spent to make a full frame car look like a unibody construction car. Awesome looking 4 link rear end & front suspension. Great wood work on interior, Hats off to the builder JF

I agree that is sort of an odd gathering for the Great 8.  Although, I like them all...kind of hard to choose a favorite, when I love them all.  But here goes,   1st would be the 56 Chevy Nomad, 2nd the 46 Chevy PU, and 3rd would be the 55 Chrysler Wagon.  Any picks on who's going to win?  I have not idea, but I'd say probably the 46 chevy PU, as that color seems like the ever popular earthtone that has won many many times in the past.

I was a little surprised when I heard the Ferrambo had won, it doesn't have the same Chip Foose Esque look that the past couple years cars have had.

I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THE SHOW FOR YEARS( ATTENDED IN 2004) I AM A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED IN THE SELECTION OF FERRAMBO AS THE WINNER. LOOK AT THE MODS ON THE CHRYSLER WAGON !! lET'S BE SERIOUS HERE GANG. I KNOW TROY OR CHIP DID NOT COMPETE,BUT ALL AND ALL I THINK THIS SELECTION HAS BROUGHT THE AWARD DOWN A LITTLE. i AM QUITE AWARE THE AVERAGE JOE WILL NEVER WIN IT AGAIN AS IN YEARS PAST, BUT LET'S BE REAL

I did like the Ferrambo, but I agree with the fit and finish on the Chrysler Wagon.
