Federal-Mogul Motorparts has announced the grand prize winner of its 2016 “King of the Road” contest. Alan Nappi, of Long Island, N.Y., has taken top honors for his beautifully maintained 1967 Oldsmobile 442.
Nappi’s Oldmobile outperformed 550 other King of the Road entrants and gathered more than 83,000 votes in the online contest. As the winner, Nappi will receive the $5,000 King of the Road grand prize in addition to the $500 he already received for winning one of the contest’s 10 weekly rounds.
The King of the Road contest encourages enthusiasts to showcase their daily rides, hot rods and/or custom vehicles through photos and stories shared at FMcarshow.com and via social media.
“The King of the Road contest celebrates the continued vitality of the North American car culture,” said Dana Bubonovich, manager of social media and digital promotions for Federal-Mogul Motorparts. “Alan’s 442, like those of many of this year’s entrants, is much more than a car. It is a family heirloom.”
