Posted September 9/15/2024: The 2nd Annual Grand National Truck Show came to an end around 6:00 p.m. Sunday night. It was another great event by Rod Shows. The culmination of the show was naming American’s Most Beautiful Truck. The winner was a 1956 Ford F-100 owned by Ed Ganzinotti which is shown below. Further down in this post are more photos of the winner as well as all the contenders. THE WINNER A lot of trucks of all sizes, colors, and customizations were at the event. The very big – The very low – The very customized – The very unique – And everything in between. Also at the event was a group of BMX riders that gave an impressive display of their skills. Their extraordinary control of the bikes as seen below included jumping over four volunteers laying on the ground without the use of a ramp. Several trucks displayed some awesome paint jobs. One truck owner with such a display told us it took a year or more to create the art. Below are photos of some of these exceptional murals. The Grand National Truck Show is a family affair and many kids had a lot of fun choosing their favorite truck and hoping that maybe, just maybe, someday their Dad will buy it for them. This is Roger and as his favorite he chose Thor the biggest truck at the show. The trucks were both inside and outside and offered a wide variety of vehicles. Two days was just barely enough time to see everything. One of the original vehicles we especially liked was this ice cream truck. It’s owner said it still keeps the ice cream frozen and he gave out about $140 worth of ice cream at the show. This jet car is pretty impressive and even more so when shooting fire and travelling down the drag strip at 200+ mph. There were always more trucks to look at and each of them provided something special to see. Another special event at the show was the truck bed dancing. These truck beds lean left and right and spin around in circles. It’s amazing that these trucks don’t tip over. A permanent part of the Fairplex is an outdoor model railway which is open to the public. This was a very elaborate train set up and was a fun way to to take a break in a garden setting. The awards ceremony was the final event of the show. It began with the pinstriper charity aution. Throughout the show the pinstripers were busy creating some very unique panels and items which were auctioned off during the awards ceremony. The auction raised $20,000 for the Volunteers for Veterans Foundation. Before the awards were handing out the color guard presented the colors while the Star Spangled Banner was sung by 16 year old Gavin Stevens. Gavin has been blind all his life but that hasn’t affected his incredible ability to sing. Once the many awards were presented, including the one for America’s Most Beautiful Truck, the show was over. It was annouced at the awards ceremony that there will be a 3rd Annual GNTS, no specific dates yet, but likely about this same time next year. Also don’t miss the upcoming Grand National Roadster Show Jan. 31-Feb. 2, 2025 at the Fairplex in Pomona. Below are photos of America’s Most Beautiful Truck and all the contenders.
