Hot August Nights Qualifier 2025

The Visalia Pharoahs proudly recognize Clarence Bosman and his legendary 1967 Ford GT-500 as the General's Choice winner of the 2025 Visalia Pharoahs Car Show!

Clarence's Ford GT-500 isn't just a car—it’s a time capsule of American muscle, craftsmanship, and passion. Every detail of this stunning ride, from its thunderous 427 engine to its iconic fastback silhouette, tells a story of horsepower and heritage. It captured not only the eyes of our judges' but the hearts of every car enthusiast who walked the lot.

This remarkable win now qualifies Clarence and his GT-500 for one of the most iconic automotive events in the country: Hot August Nights, taking place August 1–10 in Reno Nevada. We have no doubt this classic beauty will turn heads and leave a mark on the national stage, just as it did here in Visalia.

Congratulations, Clarence. Your dedication to preserving and showcasing such an iconic piece of automotive history inspires us all. The road to Reno begins now, and the Pharoahs of Visalia will be cheering you on every mile of the way!
