The customs, which are part of this historic collaborative effort, each bear unique themes that mirror the distinguished styles of the builders, while reflecting Allstate’s dedication to protection.
“Rick, Dave and I have distinct differences in our styles,” said Ness. “But in the end, we were able to come together with one goal in mind – the rider.”
