2026 Results: 1950-1969 Category Champions Deliver Mid-Century Magic

💪🚗The 1950-1969 category at this year’s Sweetheart City Car Show was packed with beautiful classics, and the top three finishers represented the very best of the era — from elegant cruisers to serious muscle.

🥇1st Place: John Taylor’s 1958 Plymouth Fury

Taking the top spot was John Taylor’s gorgeous 1958 Plymouth Fury. This stunning two-tone beauty combines classic styling with modern performance thanks to a 5.7 Hemi swap. Finished in a classy cream and gold scheme with tons of bright chrome and wire wheels, the car turned heads all day long. It’s the perfect example of a tasteful restomod that honors the original design while delivering the power and reliability enthusiasts love today.

Be sure to scroll through the photos below of this beautiful 1st place winner — it’s a real showstopper.

🥈2nd Place: Jim Ramsey’s 1958 Ford Skyliner

Jim Ramsey earned a strong second place with his 1958 Ford Skyliner. This iconic retractable hardtop is a true conversation piece and a standout from the golden age of American automobiles.

Jim is no stranger to trophies at the Sweetheart City Car Show. This same car took home the Spectators’ Choice award at last year’s show!

🥉3rd Place: Brian Holzworth’s 1968 Plymouth Road Runner

Brian Holzworth took home the third place trophy with his 1968 Plymouth Road Runner. This car holds special meaning for Brian — it was his high school car, and he completed the entire restoration himself. It’s a true labor of love and a fantastic example of a well-executed muscle car build.

Congratulations to John Taylor, James Ramsey, and Brian Holzworth on their excellent finishes in the 1950-1969 category!These cars represent the heart of the classic car hobby — beautiful designs, great stories, and passionate owners. A big thank you to everyone who brought out their vehicles from this fantastic era.
