2019 STREET MACHINE OF THE YEAR
Behold the 16 finalists in the running for the 2019 Valvoline Street Machine Of The Year! Vote for your favourite and you can win big!
WHEN it comes to holding an annual award for the best modified car in our fair wide brown land, the Valvoline Street Machine Of The Year gong stands tall. Last year saw the biggest shake-up in the award’s history, as readers were responsible for not only picking the winner but nominating the 16 finalists as well, and that continues this year.
Over the past 30 years, Holdens have won the SMOTY prize 18 times, while nine Fords, three Chevs and one
lone Mopar (Graeme Cowin’s King Kong ’Cuda) have also got the nod. In 2019, you guys have nominated eight Holdens, five Fords, two Valiants, and one Chev for our biggest award.
Congratulations to everyone with a car here, as your hard work and dedication has been recognised by the people of Australia. And now, everyone reading this magazine has one last job to do: vote for your favourite to take out the 2019 Valvoline Street Machine Of The Year!
HOW IT WORKS
THE ground rules are simple: to be eligible for SMOTY, cars must be primarily Australian-built and featured in one of the past 12 issues of Street Machine. Through four rounds of voting, the 16 finalists for SMOTY 2019 were selected by popular vote on whichcar.com.au/streetmachine. Top elite show cars, brutal streeters, cool pro tourers, slick customs, street/strip monsters, and ballistic burnout weapons are among the finalists, and the outright winner will be decided by you, our valued readers!
YOU CAN WIN TOO
THE beaut news is that not only does your vote count towards your chosen car lifting the trophy, but you go in the draw to win the ultimate Summernats experience! You and a mate could be off to Canberra on us, with flights from the winner’s nearest Australian capital (or from Auckland, Wellington or Christchurch if you live in NZ), four nights in a top hotel, two Platinum Passes to Summernats 33, a pair of VIP passes to the exclusive Street Machine party, and $1000 spending money too!
