2015 Autorama: 132 Photos of Detroit’s Spring (Automotive) Fling

1932 Ford High-Boy

Hot rod, hot red-painted accents.

A less extreme Delahaye, sans naughtiness.

Bro, do you even flower print?

Old Chevy C-10s are just the best. This '68, however, seemed too clean to even drive on manicured roads, let alone put to work on a farm.

A purpose-built Chevy Camaro drag car with a roll cage, racing seats, and an assuredly monster engine? Yes, please.

This 1956 Chevy is pretty mild, save for those massive-looking wheels. Check their width!

Dark brown over tan? Yep, it definitely works on this old-school Lincoln Continental.

Note to Lincoln: Bring back suicide doors. That is all.

Racing liveries and Corvettes, two things match-made in heaven.

Parked right next to the '50s racing Vette was this, a C2 split-window fuelie.

It wouldn't be a proper custom-car show without at least a few mega-gnar airbrushed murals. We found this one beneath the hood of an early '90s Ford F-150.

More worn-down rat-rod goodness: a '40 Ford.

Just seconds after this photo was taken, the bare-metal finish on this hot rod rusted when an onlooker let slip that Autorama was located in Detroit.

Easily the winner of our unofficial "Most Extreme Wheel-to-Body-Size Proportion" award.

Steampunk meets liquor advertising. We'd have appreciated this copper-stamped beauty even without a free shot. But we like shots.

Note how the number-four cylinder's exhaust runs apart from the front threes' header and twists around it like a heater coil. Sweet.

The attention to detail on this 1930 Ford is out of this world.

It's got a panoramic sunroof standard!* *Glass not included.

This '41 Studebaker was another candidate for near-immediate rusting were it to be taken outside and driven on Detroit's ragged, salty roads.

Sometimes, the restomod thing can lead to stuff like this. It resembles a full-scale plastic model of a '60s-era droptop.

Another bruiser Dodge Charger restomod—just look at the intricacy of those rims!

Did you know Hudson made a pickup? Neither did we.

For those still bitching over the modern Dodge Charger's four-door layout, may we present this? As a bonus, the shortened wheelbase brings the front and rear fender vents closer together. We're all about togetherness.

Does that count as plaid? Because if it does, we think it's awesome.

A guy was selling unopened classic plastic model kits at Autorama. We needed to restrain ourselves.

That Avanti kit has our names on it.

Even the Detroit Police Department gets a kick out of Autorama.
