Jack Howerton – Behind the 2012 AMBR Winner
Background and Details on the 2012 AMBR Winner
How did editors and writers work before Google? I searched for some info on the man who started the 2012 America’s Most Beautiful Roadster winning hot rod: Jack Howerton. I found this great video of “Jackie” from back in the day:
You can really see the expression of Jack’s racing past in the AMBR car.
Then, I found this great video by Cars.tv from the SoCal shop interviewing Pete Chapouris about the Indy Speedster following the shakedown runs. Needless to say, Pete likes it…
So here it is: America’s Most Beautiful Roadster: Bill Lindig’s Indy Speedster
If you missed them: Past Winners from the Grand National Roadster Show
I watch Jackie built this car from scratch. He is one fabricator.
He took Jackie 10 yrs. to build.
Ism glad to see this car won!!!

vary cool car !! i was disappointed in the cars that entered ! they are all vary cool and top end cars ! but they are not beautiful ! the winners of 2009 & 2010 were in my opinion beautiful cars ! im just glad to see a real work of art win this this year !
That hot rod looks great! I love the classic metallic look to it, real shiny on the outside and great contrast with the leather trim. Cool stuff, thanks for posting!
