Car of the year
Over the year Classic American attends up to eight car shows all over the UK, selling magazines, back issues and subscriptions. At each show there is a ‘heat’ for the Car of the Year competition and a winning car is picked at each show. The winner receives a cheque for £150 and a rather smart-looking unique hand cast brass trophy.
Each of these heat winners is invited to bring their car down to display on the Classic American stand at the Classic Motor Show held at Birmingham’s NEC in mid-November. Over the weekend the cars are judged and one overall champion is picked, winning a cheque for £500, an even bigger prestigious hand-cast brass trophy and their car on the front cover of February’s issue.
Car of the Year will be rolling out once again for 2020 and this year the Beaulieu Hot Rod and Custom Show in is one of the heats!
