His grandfather began modifying the car in period to promote his used car dealerships. After being submerged in a flood, the car sat unused until it was gifted to Boone in 1973; he was just 11 years old. Boone began collecting parts and slowly put the car back together as he grew older. The long restoration process ultimately brought him to Sacramento Autorama this year where the car was shown for the first time. The custom features a 221 cubic Inch Ford engine mated to a \u201939 Ford three-speed transmission. The roof has been chopped three inches, door corners rounded, B-pillars slanted and much more.<\/p>\n<p>The Sacramento Autorama\u2019s other top award was the King of Kustoms, which recognized the best 1935- 1964 custom build with a focus on bodylines, design, flow and quality of workmanship. This year\u2019s winner was Glenn Black with his 1949 Mercury Custom. Judges particularly praised its incredible paint which perfectly complemented its long swooping lines.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_696716\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-696716\" style=\"width: 1500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/782023_King-of-Kustoms-Winner-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-696716 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/782023_King-of-Kustoms-Winner-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/782023_King-of-Kustoms-Winner-1.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/782023_King-of-Kustoms-Winner-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/782023_King-of-Kustoms-Winner-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/782023_King-of-Kustoms-Winner-1-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/782023_King-of-Kustoms-Winner-1-770x513.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/782023_King-of-Kustoms-Winner-1-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/782023_King-of-Kustoms-Winner-1-1155x770.jpg 1155w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/782023_King-of-Kustoms-Winner-1-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/782023_King-of-Kustoms-Winner-1-293x195.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/782023_King-of-Kustoms-Winner-1-1400x933.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-696716\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">King of Customs winner, 1949 Mercury Custom.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cFor the Sacramento Autorama\u2019s 70th anniversary, we gathered some of the greatest customs of all time,\u201d said John Buck, owner of Rod Shows and producer of the Sacramento Autorama. \u201cEach of the cars here represented the pinnacle of their respective categories &#8211; the best of the hobby.
