one builder/shop with a car on display in the Builders’ Showcase to be crowned “America’s Elite Builder” sponsored by Moser Engineering. The best part is that the only judges are the

The National Street Rod Association was excited to be able to bring these works of automotive art to the Street Rod Nationals for the twentieth year so thousands of enthusiasts from around the world can appreciate the workmanship and creativity of their builders.

Look for all these vehicles on display in special sections of early 2026 issues of StreetScene.

Exhibits Building for the entire four days of the event.
