Aug. 6, 2015—The annual PPG Dream Car awards were presented at the Goodguys 18th PPG Nationals held at the Ohio Expo Center in Columbus, July 10-12. The two winners were a 1955 Chevy pickup owned by Joe and Josh Bailey of Maryville, Tenn., and a 1940 Ford pickup owned by Robert Anderson of Savannah, Ga.
The PPG-Goodguys event displayed over 6,200 custom cars and trucks and had over 75,000 attendees. The PPG Dream Car awards are given to the two vehicles that best exhibit outstanding use of color, design, gloss and execution in a paint job.
The father-son team of Joe and Josh Bailey earned the award using PPG’s DELTRON 2000 DBC Basecoat and DCU2002 CONCEPT High Solids Polyurethane Clear with PPG colors Fender Guitar Surf Green and 1957 Chevrolet India Ivory.
Robert Anderson’s car was entrusted to Steve Legens at Legens Hot Rod Shop in Martin, Tenn.
