CUSTOM D’ELEGANCE
This award, created in 1953 and known originally as the “Car of Elegance,” was first won by Sacramento’s own Joe Bailon. This restored award will be open to all customs built from 1936–1964 that feature a silhouette change, including chopped, channeled, and/or sectioned. 1936–1948 vehicles’ outward appearance must be in the true spirit of a classic custom. (Judges will give consideration to the intent of the vehicle.) The Custom D’Elegance is a special class with awards for Display, Engineering, Paint, 25 Engine, Interior, and Detail. All entrants will receive a class participation award and therefore will not be eligible for other custom category class awards. Vehicles are eligible for other Sacramento Autorama pick awards. All entries must be able to start under their own power and move forward and backward. All entries will be displayed in 20x20s. All contenders must bring their own display. (Photos required.) The overall winner is determined by a point system from the judging staff.
