America's Greatest Hot Rod Show is what they call the Detroit Autorama and winning the Don Ridler Memorial Award is the ultimate goal for custom car show competitors to aspire to. The process to narrow down the field for the Ridler is called the Great 8 and the eight cars or in some cases trucks chosen to compete for the Ridler are announced on opening day right before the public rushes in.

Iconic Metal Works did the fabrication for Frank and Demi Hinmon's 1955 Cadillac Coupe De Ville, one of the show's eight finalists!
