The 2011 Long Beach Autorama once again turned out to be a great show. Since 1958, the event has been showcasing some of the coolest kustoms, race cars, and hot rods in the country. It is open to 1969 and older American made vehicles. The thing we like about it is the great blend of iron. Literally everything from the tail dragging lead sleds to vintage fuel altereds like the famous Magic Muffler machine of Jim Miles that blew the crankshaft out of the motor in probably the single greatest drag racing photo of all time.
We gathered up a gallery of more than 120 photos for your viewing pleasure. Hit the link below and take a photo tour of both the indoor and outdoor elements of the show!
CAR SHOW GALLERY: THE 2011 LONG BEACH AUTORAMA
Thanks for the photos.
Now my day is ruined.
I miss California.
And Bakersfield is around the corner.
At least I’ll have Hershey.
The two greatest pics ever are Miles staring down at his crankshaft, and Wild Willie doing his thing sideways with one hand on the wheel. Both cars were sitting right next to each other at the Motorama, I couldn’t believe it when I saw it.

Fantastic pics, Daphne. I see where Chad gets his photog talent.
