Vladimir Bilik Jr. of Santa Clarita, Calif., beat out more than 90 contestants to win the 21st annual Rotella SuperRigs Truck Beauty Contest. Bilik also took the top prize in the contest in 2001, for his 2001 Peterbilt 379, known as "Peterod." The heavily chromed tractor-trailer features a hot rod theme, complete with a chrome kickstand and stainless steel undercarraige covering extending from the transmission to the rear trailer axle, and reversed "suicide" doors with handles removed.
Only working trucks were allowed to compete in the contest and owners have the opportunity to have their rig appear in the 2004 Rotella SuperRigs™ calendar.
