Macy Gray and Michael Clarke Duncan
Twenty-four celebrity automotive enthusiasts showcased their GM vehicles--each reflecting its respective owner’s personality and attitude via exterior and interior customization. This year’s “King of Bling” and “Best Interior” titles went to Los Angeles Clippers’ Corey Maggette for his 2003 Blue Raspberry Cadillac Escalade ESV. Macy Gray won “Best Exterior” for her 2003 Black Oversized Hummer H2 while Shanna Moakler won “Best Old School Car” for her 1953 Seafoam Green Cadillac Coupe DeVille. Judges participating in the event included Michael Clarke Duncan, Frankie Muniz, Michael Irvin (Host of ESPN’s NFL Gameday), and Jim Taylor (General Manager, Cadillac). A $2,500 donation was made in each participant’s name to the charity of their choice. This year’s “King of Bling,” Corey Maggette received a $20,000 donation to the Corey Maggette Flight 50 Basketball Camp, a non-profit organization benefiting Chicago’s inner city children.

“There is a unique car culture in Los Angeles. With an event like All-Car Showdown, celebrities are able to display their individual sense of style with the cars and trucks they own,” states Mike Jackson, General Manager of the GM Western Region. “GM’s various models have established a significant presence in the world of entertainment, music, and, in general, pop culture. Through the application of customization such vehicles have become ‘art on wheels.’” Other guest included Ashton Kutcher, Gabrielle Union, Ja Rule, Funkmaster Flex, John Singleton, Michael Irvin (“The Longest Yard”), Kareem Abdul Jabbar, William Romeo (Kickboxer) among others.
