ZZ Top Sharp Dressed Man 2014: Sport mods

They come runnin’ just as fast as they can

‘Cause every girl crazy ’bout a sharp dressed man.

A pair of first-time award winners top this year’s sport mod picks for the ZZ Top Sharp Dressed Man and Most Improved Look choices.

Taylor Lear’s great-looking 626 car earns the ZZ Top nod while Bob Cowman’s clean-looking No. 6 receives the Most Improved Look award.

Taylor Lear

Lear’s accent on pink worked with the black background. Cowman’s car comes from the opposite approach, opting for well-manicured simplicity over flash-and-dash. While Lear’s ride has a more modernistic feel, Cowman resembles NASCAR of the early to mid-1990s.

Bob Cowman

Even though the sport mods have only been around a few years, the class has produced some of the best-looking cars of any series at the track. For example, Joe Bliven’s 2013 winning ZZ Top car ranks among the unofficial all-time top 10, joining such famous looks as Jamie Wilson’s famous 2002 black, green and silver entry in the late models and the 2000 blue late model of Mark Burgtorf.
