A few of the main attractions and star cars crossing the block during MotorTrend’s coverage includes: a 1998 Volvo V70 Wagon used in AMC’s hit shows Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul driven by the character Gus Fring in the second, third, and fourth seasons of Breaking Bad as well as the third, fourth, fifth and sixth seasons of Better Call Saul; a 1985 Lamborghini Countach LP500S Quattrovalvole that is one of 321 produced between 1982-85 and has a metric odometer that reads just over 11,000 miles; a marvelously restored 1950 GMC 5-Window Pickup boasting a 228 CI 6-cylinder engine, which is the same powerplant that moves a 1930 Ford Model A Roadster Pickup that has received the Model A Restorers Club MARC of Excellence and Master Restoration awards, the Model A Ford Club of America Award of Excellence for the Restored Class, an AACA National First Prize in 2007, and an AACA Senior Grand National First Prize in 2009.
