This '65 Chevy belongs to Mike Willey of Tulsa, Oklahoma, and the blue with purple flames were some of the brightest we've seen. We like the Billet Accessories Direct wheels, too.

Goodguys 12Th Lonestar Nationals 1972 Blazer
Jeff and Jonelle Hunt and their '72 Blazer were a bit late to the dance; they missed out on the Top 10 and TOTY festivities. But then on Sunday they got a last-minute Goodguys award, were moved to the winners circle, and were photographed for a feature. Is that a success story or what?

See, stockers have a home at the Lonestar Nats, too. When are we going to start seeing mostly stock Fords on big wheels and airbags like we do on the Chevys of this era?

Goodguys 12Th Lonestar Nationals 1957 Chevy Truck
We never get tired of looking at the '02 TOTY-winning '57 Chevy owned by Tim and Darrell Cimbanin. It looks every bit as good as is did on our April '03 cover.

Goodguys 12Th Lonestar Nationals 1957 Chevy Big Window
Cliff Angelle's '57 Chevy big-window had a ton of cool tricks under the Cadillac Green and Silver paint. The big-block truck incorporated mesh into the molded grille, pie-cut hood vents, and center dump exhaust. The '57 was also a Late TOTY finalist.

When's the last time you saw a '30 Chevy look this clean and mean? Yeah, us neither. Bob Schumacher pulled out all the stops on his rat-powered copper Pro Street beast and wound up as another Early TOTY finalist.

Chad and Marcia Gorczyca debuted their House of Kolor Blue '50 Chevy at the show, and it was an early favorite to win the Early TOTY award. The stoked-out Specialties-built hauler had a cool camel-colored leather interior and an oak bed stained to match.

The House of Kolor fire graphics were only the beginning of what Todd Boatright's '55 Chevy had to offer. The TOTY finalist laid flat on the rockers and had a wood bed floor on struts to show off the suspension detail and handiwork.
