(Words and Photos by Jim Hrody) The Indianapolis World of Wheels is an exceptional show to check out. The 64th annual, as in years past, took place at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. Around 500 vehicles were showcased within the confines of three buildings.
The main building, as well as the one directly behind it, contained the ‘turntable cars’ as well as rows of cordoned off vehicles that you’d expect to see at an indoor show. This is also where most of the vendors were, some automotive, some not.
The west building had a choice of modern trends in one room and old-school technology in two others. The first room had mostly 80s-up slammed trucks, modern muscle, and insane stereo setups. However, this room did also have few older cars in place.
The second and third rooms were the area for ‘Motorama 1962’. As the name suggests, this is where the traditional rods and customs gathered, though I did see a few later muscle cars in there as well. This west building seems to be a perfect fit for the theme of these speciality areas, mainly due the brick walls and dimmer lighting.
The Indy show has it’s own unique personality about it. Even though I attended before the regular public hours, it still took about three hours to get though it all. It’s no Chicago World of Wheels or Detroit Autorama, but it most definitely should be on every gearhead’s bucket list to attend.
