1940 Merc And 1952 Chevy Pickup Take ISCA Pick At NSRA Mid-America

The International Show Car Association, or ISCA, as they’re commonly referred to is an association made up of three different groups, all of whom are avid hot rod, classic, and custom car enthusiasts.

The association is comprised of: exhibitors who show their vehicles and compete at ISCA-sanctioned indoor events, judges who judge the vehicles and determine where a vehicle places in its respective class, and producer members who produce the indoor custom car shows. As you can see it is an eclectic conglomerate of individuals, all of whom are heavily involved and equally responsible for putting on a successful show.

According to a release from the NSRA, “The ISCA was formed in 1963 to act as the sanctioning body for the competition at [NSRA] shows. Its purpose is to oversee the competition at each event, supervise the judging staff, keep track of exhibitor points, and manage the series championship.”

On May 23-25 the ISCA gathered at the 31st Mid-America Street Rod Nationals in Missouri and chose their two from the event. Buck Wilson of McAlester, Oklahoma’s slick 1940 Mercury which featured a louvered hood and amber fog lights took home the honor of ISCA pick. Guy Steelman of Rogerville, Missouri’s 1952 Chevy with an electric blue-on-blue paint job took home the honor as well.

The ISCA selects and presents their picks at all eleven NSRA events across the country. For more information on the association be sure to check out their homepage. Be on the look out for these picks at a local NSRA show near you.
