Photo Highlights From the Downtown Grand Junction Colorado Car Show 2022

There were so many cool cars in this year's downtown Grand Junction car show, but only one can be the 'KOOLest" of them all.

A Great Place For Classic Cars

The downtown Grand Junction car show is one of the best car shows of the year in large part because of the venue. The downtown setting is just fantastic with all of the classic automobiles lining the street and there is always such a great variety of cars. You can see some photo highlights from the car show in the gallery below - including the 1st place winner for Best in Show.

Selecting the KOOLest Car

Every year we get to select one car to win the KOOLest Car award, and it's never an easy choice. Typically, I narrow it down to three or four and then struggle to finally make a decision. This year's selection was just as tough as ever. There really aren't any specific criteria for the award, the car just has to have a cool vibe and this could have gone either way.

And the Winner Is...

This year's award for the KOOLest Car goes to William Steele of Fruita for his 1923 Ford T Bucket. Not only did William's car have a cool vibe, but I would also have to say it was one of the most unique cars in the show.

It kind of looks like one of those model cars we used to put together as kids with the great-smelling glue. William's color choice is superb.

Here is a look at this 1923 classic from the rear. Look at the size of those wheels. That is some serious rubber.
