The winner of the 2015 Ridler Award – the 1965 Chevy Impala Impostor created by Chip Foose – features BASF Glasurit 90 Line paint.
The Ridler, one of the custom car industry’s most prestigious
awards, was presented to the proud car owners, Don and Elma
Voth of Canada, at the Detroit Autorama. The car’s unique color, called Impostor Pearl Dark and Impostor Pearl light, was
specifically customized by Chip Foose.
“Chip has been a long-time ambassador for BASF’s Glasurit
90 Line paint system,” said Shefali Cromer, Glasurit market
segment manager, BASF Coatings Solutions, North America.
“Glasurit provides a world-class finish and outstanding quality
every time. It’s that kind of reliability that attracts Chip, and
many other custom car builders, to use Glasurit.”
Chip Foose is known for his TV Show Overhaulin’ as well as
his many award-winning car designs.
“At Foose Design, we’re lucky enough to work on projects

lot to us,” said Foose. “BASF offers intelligent solutions based
on innovative products and tailor-made services that help con-
vey these emotions and also take my projects to the Ridler
Awards, magazine covers and television.”

ory of Don Ridler, who started promoting Detroit’s Autorama
