Roy Brizio Ready for Columbus!
Second generation hot rod craftsman Roy Brizio, the patriarch of Roy Brizio Street Rods in South San Francisco, CA will be on hand at the 13th PPG Nationals presented by Bridgestone July 9-11 in Columbus, OH to select the event’s Builder’s Choice awards. Brizio will personally select 20 award winners from the Builder’s Choice parking area which will be open from 8am to 2pm Saturday, July 10th at the Ohio Expo Center.The highly sought after awards are milled aluminum, anodized statuettes.
Throughout the last 20 years, Roy Brizio Street Rods has earned a well deserved reputation for building hot rods and customs that have defined modern hot rodding. Roy’s philosophy is simple: to build and help others build the finest looking and driving hot rods of our time. Brizio has built Goodguys winners, Grand National Roadster Show winners and was selected to Hot Rod Magazine's 50th Anniversary celebration "T" roadster, but perhaps his greatest sense of pride comes from building dual purpose show winning drivers. No other shop the world can boast of putting more miles on their cars than Roy Brizio Street Rods.

Goodguys 13th PPG Nationals presented by Bridgestone Joins Nationwide Car Celebration Friday, July 9th 2010
The Goodguys Rod & Custom Association will join organizers across the country to celebrate the first-ever Collector Car Appreciation Day during the 13th PPG Nationals presented by Bridgestone which runs Friday July 9th through Sunday July 11th at the Ohio Expo Center in Columbus, OH. The massive event happens to be the country’s largest classic car/hot rod show so it’s only fitting the first annual Collector Car Appreciation Day falls during the popular event. The United States Senate declared the second Friday in July as Collector Car Appreciation Day as a means to raise awareness of the vital role automotive restoration and collection plays in American society.
“We are pleased that our elected officials have acknowledged the positive presence that the automotive industry has in local communities,” said Goodguys President Marc Meadors. “We’re looking forward to the 13th PPG Nationals presented by Bridgestone where tens of thousands of people will demonstrate their love for automobiles. The event is going to be even more special knowing that car-lovers across the country are celebrating as well.”
The Goodguys Nationals is one of hundreds of car events taking place on or around July 9, 2010, the official date designated as Collector Car Appreciation Day. The Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) and the Automotive Restoration Market Organization (ARMO) developed a list of events nationwide on July 9th and posted it at www.sema.org/sema-enews/2010/21/collector-car-appreciation-day-grows
SEMA, a trade association for business in the specialty equipment market, and ARMO, a council within SEMA that is dedicated to preserving and promoting the automotive restoration industry, requested the resolution on behalf of its members.
“Car collection is a uniquely American pastime and it’s played an integral role in our society,” said Jim Barber, Chairman of ARMO. “The Senate Resolution and the events taking place all over the country are testaments to the importance and passion that this industry has.”
Ethan Landsman, based in the SEMA offices in Washington DC will attend the 13th PPG Nationals presented by Bridgestone to present a copy of the Collector Car Appreciation resolution to Dennis Overholser of the HRIA (Hot Rod Industry Alliance) in a special ceremony scheduled for Friday July 9th.
