The show's top custom honor is the Most Elegant Custom award, which comes with $2,000 cash and a D'Elegance trophy sponsored by Hot Hues. Subtly done, Robert Wolf's chopped and sectioned "Salsa Verde" '48 Buick Special has scores of body mods giving it the air of a concept car. A 5.7-liter GM small-block and 4L60E trans provide power. Merlin Berg did the bodywork, and Jim McFall stitched the custom cloth inside.
