Detroit Autorama returns with 680 cars on display
In 1953, the plan was to put on a car show to raise money for a drag strip. Seventy-three years later, the drag strip is the stuff of memories, but the car show, a celebration of custom hot rods and car culture, is still going strong. Detroit Autorama , sometimes called "America's Greatest Hot Rod Show," returns once again to Huntington Place this week, running Friday, Feb. 27, through Sunday, March 1, with some 680 cars expected on display. In addition to custom cars, appearances are planned from WWE Hall of Fame members Trish Stratus and Kevin Nash, Iron Maiden drummer Nicko McBrain and the InGen Type 6 Utility Vehicle from “Jurassic World.” A Miss Autorama Pinup Girl contest is also scheduled. The show promises lots of sheet metal eye candy, and it’ll attract builders hoping to impress the judges enough to score a premier custom car award, possibly nabbing one of the BASF Great 8 spots or the pinnacle, the Ridler Award, which comes with a $10,000 prize and a requirement that this is the car’s first public showing.
