As promised, here is yet another post of the great, and numerous cars of AutoRama Detroit.
 |
This perfect 1927 Ford Roadster, done up in a sort of period-correct racing car, was quite cool. The Striping was a nice touch. |
 |
Around the rear, the tall tires rise above the sheet metal, adding a nice period HotRod look. |
 |
This, one of many 1932 fords, was a very well done build. I especially like the paint colors and the wheels. |
 |
There's just something about this hotrod, with it's "Bare Steel" look, possibly covered in a Matte Clearcoat. A very modern looking classic hot rod, for sure. |
 |
It's no secret that I'm quite a fan of the C2 Corvettes. This one, with it's amazing deep plum color and contrasting matte bronze on the wheels just works so well. |
 |
The color scheme continues under the hood, with the Plum color contrasting with both the matte bronze and chrome on the engine. I love it. |
 |
And how do you ignore this Shelby GT350? It's such a distinctive car. |
 |
This Willys Jeep was, while relatively spartan in form, built for pure function. A 2.2L inline 4 engine provides the power. I'm particularly a fan of the tow rope wrapped around the bumper. |
 |
Coming right back to color schemes, this '32 Ford pickup was another cool build. |
 |
This Mercury was, for some reason, one of my favorites at the show. That large V8 sits where a relatively small inline 4 once lived. |
 |
This perfect first-generation Corvette was nicely done, though I'm not completely sold on the color. |
 |
This car...I Love this car. It's got what appears to be about a 6 inch roof chop and about 3 inches of channeling done to the body, as well as a possible frame stretch to fit the engine up front. And the wheels, again, in Matte Bronze (seems to be the new trend) go rather nicely with the light teal body. |
 |
These 2 cars, a Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R on the left, and an R32 GT-R on the Right, didn't quite fit in with the rest of the cars there, I'm glad they were there, though. It's not too often I see skylines around. |
 |
This Lotus Europa Twin Cam was a car I never thought I'd see anywhere, let alone at AutoRama. But, here it was, in all of it's oddly-shaped glory. I love these things. |
 |
I love the color on this, especially with the black wire wheels. |
 |
And finally, this odd creation. A Dually hot rod with an oddly-shaped custom dumping bed....not sure about it's purpose, but it looks good. |
Anyway, that's all for now. Keep checking back for more.
