Lokar’s One Fine Deuce Award At Goodguys Events In 2017

The Goodguys Rod & Custom shows place an importance on helping rodders celebrate great automotive works of art. One of the many ways that the association shows their appreciation is through the awards that are presented on the last day of the event. Each event has a special coterie of awards, some of which are unique to the event itself.

This weekend’s Del Mar event will be presenting several of the Goodguys’ top awards that qualify owners/builders for the season finalist awards in the Musclecar of the Year, Muscle Machine of the Year, Custom Rod of the Year, Truck of the Year, and Street Rod D’Elegance competition.

However, one of our favorite awards, that is presented at every Goodguys’ event this year, is the “One Fine Deuce” award sponsored by Lokar Performance Products. “Lokar’s name stands for excellence in the hot rod industry,” said Lokar’s Brian Downard. “The word Deuce stands for what is, to most people, the very pinnacle of hot rodding.”

“To win the Lokar “One Fine Deuce” award at a Goodguys’ event says that the winner, along with Lokar, are staying true to our hot rod roots,” Downard added. The first “Once Fine Deuce” award in 2017 went to  Dick and Bobbie LaFortune and their 1932 Ford Roadster at the Goodguys’ 8th Spring Nationals in Scottsdale, Arizona, on March 12. This brilliant sky blue deuce with gray wires set the standard by which all others would be judged for the rest of the year.

Next was Bob McCall’s 1932 full-fendered Ford Coupe at the Goodguys’ 7th Lone Star Nationals in Fort Worth, Texas, on March 19. McCall’s deuce had a mesmerizing paint color that made it hard to ignore. The clean look and traditional body is a clear winner by anyone’s standards.

According to Downard, “it is very important to Lokar that an award bearing our name is represented by the cars that are chosen. These cars are of the highest quality, and stand out as the finest car in an already very special class of cars. He added, “This is something the car owners can be proud of. It is with a great source of pride, that Lokar, sponsors an award that truly brings to light the best of the best.”

The next opportunity for 1932 Ford owners to capture the title as one of the best deuces will be at the Del Mar Nationals this weekend, March 31-April 2, at the Del Mar Fairgrounds in Del Mar, California.
