Hall of Fame
Grand National Roadster Show
PRESENTED BY
HALL OF FAME
The Grand National Roadster Show Hall of Fame was created in 1960 to recognize persons who have contributed to the success and history of the Grand National Roadster Show and their influence in the world of hot rodding and custom cars. Some of the founding members include Al Slonaker, Joe Bailon, George Barris, Wally Parks and Robert E. Peterson and growing every year. The Hall of Fame induction process begins with at least 3 nominations from the existing members to get on the ballot. The ballot is then sent out and voted on by said members. The candidates will then be inducted and honored at the Hall of Fame dinner held Friday evening at the Grand National Roadster Show.
