May 5, 2016—Axalta announced Wednesday that it will showcase a 1932 Ford Roadster painted in 1956 Thunderbird Peacock Blue with Axalta’s Cromax ChromaPremier basecoat at the 26th Annual Cruisin’ Ocean City hot rod show in Ocean City, Md., May 19-22. 

Paul Quinn of Design Brilliance will pinstripe the car at the show. 

The car’s owner, Bill Towers, was selected as Detroit Autorama’s Painless Performance/STREET RODDER Top 100 winner.
