On this episode of HOT ROD Unlimited, we get a closer look a Ridler Award winner! At the 2013 Detroit Autorama, eight cars were chosen to compete for the prestigious Ridler Award. The winner was Ron Cizek's 1940 Ford, "Checkered Past", built by Andy Leach at CAL Automotive Creations. Andy and Ron invited us out to Bennington, Nebraska to get a closer look at the supercharged, flathead-powered Checkered Past, and meet some of the talented fabricators who made it possible. We take the car on its first street drive, and stop by a local car cruise to see what the enthusiast scene is all about in Bennington. Andy also takes us through the CAL Creations shop to give us a sneak peek at some of the current projects, including a '71 'Cuda and a land speed racing car.

It is always so inspiring to see an amazing team , fueled by passion and talent rather than ego and money .

@mrolskul 11 лет назад

Beautiful work & craftsmanship! This is a car channel, to be watched for the automotive content, not drool over the host. I can enjoy the cars w/o worrying about the host's looks. She's enthusiastic and respectful (notice her hands behind her back as she looks over the cars?), I can appreciate that.

Gorgeous Car, just amazing, thanks for keep the flathy...long live to the flathead!

i used to have a 1987 Buick Grand National i used to daily drive for 10 years in Indiana in the elements including the snow. I sold it when it reached 232,000 miles. I used to get yelled at for driving it in bad weather and i had other vehicles i could have driven.I loved the car so much i couldnt stop driving it,collectors item or not. I still got 4000 more than i paid for it even with the 200,000 additional miles. Cars are meat to be driven.

@tifosiman68 11 лет назад

The most gorgeous 40 I've ever seen. This car is smooooth.

@BornOnWoodward 11 лет назад

I saw this exact car in the Goodguys Columbus Show in Ohio, and it is nothing like it is in this video. You have to see it in person to truly capture its beauty. Truly astounding.

@Procharged32 11 лет назад

Well done to the builder genuine guy.

@life7076 11 лет назад

@MrSukiflash 11 лет назад

Absolutely stunning car that almost scares me when I think about whats next from this shop.Elana,you look stunning as well and I am glad you are becoming more comfortable in front of the camera.

@lewiscorby4545 10 лет назад

I believe that its all the little details that make it so cool, certainly worthy of the award. I'm impressed that they drive it around though, over gravel and grass and well. I don't think I could do that with such an immaculate car.

@billcox1148 9 лет назад

I HAVE seen this car going down the road,got pictures to prove it.I talked to Andy in Columbus last year @ GG event.SUPER nice guy.As soon as I hit the lottery he's getting my 64' Belair.Bob Thrash even owned a twin to my 64' at one time.

Elana Nice yet again to see something different. Love the 40 ford! It would be great if you did a follow up on their other projects. Love your show Dave

@haroldhaynes4429 11 лет назад

Great car and unbelievable even to think about driving it on the street. But that would be the way I would want it.

@perez5249 11 лет назад

A Riddler winner on gravel!!!??? Now he's got cojones!!! Congrats on a great build guys.

@fluffychicken383 11 лет назад

Beautiful 40! I used to be not into them, more of a 32/34 guy but damn is this one nice!

@C.Pineda2018 11 лет назад

No way!!! I live in Omaha and I've never even heard of this guy. I'll have to check it out. :D

@LittleCD 11 лет назад

@davidgraham7325 2 года назад

Exactly right what I would build 👌 👏

1940 Ford is the prettiest one Henry ever made love the shape of that car

@nickcooper4265 11 лет назад

Dope that he actually drives it

@ERNEisAWESOME 11 лет назад

thanks! exactly my thoughts

@NN-wd2vi 11 лет назад

Less is definitely more! I´m not "into" cars like these, but the attention to details are just astonishing and makes the car beautiful. Enjoy your car and keep up the good work!

@TheGard3nGn0me 11 лет назад

Looks stunning.

@quiksilverben3 11 лет назад

I think I got pictures of this car, at the Goodguys car show at Del Mar this year. Those wheels were amazing!

@crazyboystheirtoys6451 11 лет назад

Congratulation Ron at CAL!

@ScottHillsmusclecargarage 11 лет назад

I agree with you 100%. I have a car that is being built at Hot Rods by Dean. It will be debuted in Pomona. For the first year it will not be driven, while it is on tour. After that it will be driven by the open course events and the Silver State classic open road race in Nevada. I will never sell the car. But it will definitely be driven as much as possible. I do you own a car that is essentially a model. Because it is a 1968 Super Stock Hemi Barracuda. It is used for drag racing.

@TheTurboDriver 11 лет назад

What a beautiful car... Awesome

@scootosan 11 лет назад

Gorgeous car. Definitely see the "Troy" roots. And thumbs up for Shop Dog.

amazing car

@Edison73100 10 лет назад

Very nice

@ZeekDuff 11 лет назад

I'm a bit surprised the guy who did the wiring got no mention, Jared Zimmerman. He left his own show ("Car Fix" with Lou Santiago, the original "Muscle Car" host) to do that tedious task, & CF's episode 16 (3/30/13) is mostly devoted to that bit & an awesome tour of some other details, like the machined bolt heads, all of 'em unique to this ride! Amazing work, & a LOT of it. Congrats to all involved in creating this beauty, just wish they'd floored that flathead in this vid, just once!!! :\

@dailydoseofcandy 11 лет назад

The other contenders for the Ridler Award looked amazing. Must have been a very close competition

@DamionG1987 2 года назад

Honestly, that year hands down the 40 was the winner. It is an amazingly well done car.

beautiful car, just don't look inside. It's like a can of butterscotch pudding exploded.

@calvincooley1074 2 года назад

Saw it at GOODGUYS Columbus

@tobyryan2472 11 лет назад

How much is it to get a car painted like that?

@ZeekDuff 11 лет назад

Around $15k+, *if* you could get a bit of Charlie Hutton's time AND have most of the prep work (filler, sanding, primer, sanding, more sanding, etc.) already done, so all Charlie would have to do is inspect it to be certain it's right, then spray & sand, spray & sand, then spray & polish, for days... Also, depends on the type of paint you want, some of it is also very costly.

@ayobryan9609 11 лет назад

@Sj1bby 11 лет назад

"see it driving by"? Are you gonna fly it to Europe? ;P Awesome looking showcar, and like a showcar should (imho), it drives!

@BigAdam2050 11 лет назад

To shoot paint, just point a gun, not much. The prep work? Couple of grand plus. Prep work is where good paints lives and dies.

@robertklein9190 5 лет назад

Drive it on the road? It's got no plates, must be no 🚔 in Nebraska. Exceptional build, must be enough original parts left over to build another 40.

@yokonsetsu 10 лет назад

What is your opinion on F1 cars? NASCAR? Track day cars?

@kainesmith1398 11 лет назад

@Mellosaxsexy 11 лет назад

Hated this car at first but came to liking it....if only is was a little higher?

@simonstovebolt 5 лет назад

Awesome job and well done on the award. Its sad people can't look at a car and appreciate what has been done to it even if its not to there liking. To me there not car people at all. All there able to do is sit there and bag it out but have no chance of doing anything close to it
