As reported by Hot Rod, the star of the night was one of Ford's most classic and priceless vehicle on display, thee 1933 Ford Roadster. Owners Buddy Jordan and Steve Frisbie customized the vehicle at Steve's Auto Restoration in Portland, Oregon where it was rendered and its hardtop removed.

On top of which, it had four-wheel Wilwood disc brakes, CNC machined braking plates with directional openings, steering arms, and caliper covers. On the automobile's other exterior features, it had custom off-wheels, center cap emblems, and directional openings. The interiors of the vehicle had red leather with black details.
