I am going to this show. I have not been there in a few years. A friend of mine wanted me to go so I will. A F-body club I belong to will have some cars on display there. For having a club display we got tickets discounted at $12. I think ther are $20 regular price. Is anyone from this board going? There will be some celebrities there as well.

So Saturday was the perfect day to go to the Autorama. Of course Richard Rawlings was scheduled to appear but was a no show. I did get to see Linda Vaughan, Chip Foose and Troy Trepaneia (sp) as well as some other classic hot rod builders. Chip Foose had a 1965 Impala 2 door hardtop there that he basically took a brand new C6 Corvette and reskinned the Corvette with this Impala that has every body panel custom shortened to fit and it had the Vette dash , seats and doors. Even had a factory nav unit. It was sweet. They had a clean stock 1965 Impala SS next to the custom car so you could see all of the changes. That show was so crowded the Cobo roof parking was full when I got there. I had to park blocks away and walk.
