ARK's Specialty Awards (back to the top)

Albany Rods and Kustoms sponsors the following specialty awards.
- Joyce Rochester Favorite Corvette Award -
The “Favorite Corvette” Award is given in Memory of our
friend and long standing club member Joyce Rochester.
Joyce was a vital part of our car club and the Adirondack
Nationals. Over her 17+ years as a member of Albany
Rods and Kustoms, she held many positions; Event
Co-chairman, Head of Adirondack Nationals Vehicle
Registration and lastly, President of ARK.
Joyce was also active in her community and was there
to help anyone in need. Her love of family, friends,
community and ARK were limitless. Joyce was also
passionate about cars, her favorite being her 1962
Corvette, a likeness of which is engraved on the
front of the Award.
- Ricky Giusto Favorite Mustang Award -
Ricky Giusto was a boy who loved the Adirondack Nationals.
According to his parents he was a "Complete Mustang Fanatic". In 1987, Ricky and his mom convinced his dad to sell their '63 Corvette and buy a '65 Mustang GT Convertible. In 1992, their Mustang was an Adirondack Nationals Favorite 50 Winner and Ricky rolled up in his wheelchair to accept the award. Six weeks later, on October 31st, Ricky lost his battle with Muscular Dystrophy. The following year, Albany Rods & Kustoms established the "Ricky Giusto Favorite Mustang Award" in his honor. This award has become well known and coveted by Mustang owners ever since.
