RIDLER WINNER FEATURE VIDEO: HERE’S THE 2025 RIDLER WINNER 1955 CHEVROLET NOMAD FROM DETROIT AUTORAMA.
We shared a video of the Great 8 finalists for the Ridler Award at Detroit Autorama a couple of days ago and now we’ve got a feature video on the one that took the title. If you missed the Great 8 video, use the link below. Ridler winners, regardless of style, are cars that are finished at a level that is second to none. This is why the Ridler is one of the biggest car show awards on the planet. I can’t even imagine what it must be like to judge cars that are finished at this level. They climb all around them in order to see all the details, and then they have to put their personal tastes aside and judge these cars just on their build quality.
Can you believe that a battleship grey car has won the Ridler? I mean this is such a departure from the colors we would normally expect to see on a Ridler contender.
Take a look at the video and let us know what you think, and again if you didn’t see all of the Great 8 contenders, use the link below.
