The year’s first Overdrive’s Pride & Polish show took place last weekend in central Florida at the 75 Chrome Shop. The winners — which you can see more of via this link — were named Sunday.
The show, which is an annual customer appreciation event for 75 Chrome, featured food, live entertainment, some Florida sunshine and, of course, a lot full of Pride & Polish show and working rigs.
It also featured a Wash & Show competition, held at each Pride & Polish event, and a lights show, which was held Friday night at last week’s event.
Below are photos from the light show, a few unique truck interiors on hand at the show and the full list of Wash & Show winners:
