To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Ridler Award in 2013, the 61st annual Detroit Autorama "Builder of the Year" exhibit was replaced with the largest gathering of former Ridler-winning cars ever assembled. Some of the cars included in the exhibition were Al Bergler's "Aggravation", the Alexander Brothers' "Venturian", Pennington's "Devilfish", Bob Rizzoli's '92 Mercedes, Rydell's "Grandmaster", Reister's "Impression", Ray's "Gold Digger", Bruce Rick's |"Suncammer", and Peace's '55 Thunderbird. In addition to the gathering of former Ridler-cars, the exhibit included a special Saturday-autograph session, which brought out names like Bergler, Alloway, and Foode-to sign commemorative "50th Anniversary Artwork" with each of their cars on it. To cap-off the celebration, the winners of the 50th Ridler Award (Rob & Deb Cizek & their 1940 Ford "Checkered Past") were presented with a one-of-a-kind Gold Ridler trophy unlike any given-before or after.
