Sometimes it pays to be lucky, and when our man on the street Scott Liggett hit the Omaha Autorama on day one, the day before they started shutting down all public gatherings, he grabbed photos of every car in the show. Of course we forgot he sent them to us, in the wake of all the panic, and so we started sharing them last weekend instead! Don’t worry if you missed any of our previous galleries, they are all just a click away using the link below.

(Words by Scott Liggett) We were so ready to hit up the 65th running of the World Of Wheels Omaha Autorama this year. Omaha wasn’t seeing the cases of Corona Virus like the big cities on the coasts. But, with the news around the world getting uglier, and events being cancelled left and right elsewhere in the world, we were still hoping to go see some cool cars. Even on Saturday morning, we didn’t know if we would make it to the show with snow falling, and the possibility the show being cancelled as we drove the three hours to Omaha.
The uncertainty didn’t end when we pulled into the parking lot at CHI Health Center in Downtown Omaha. The lot was near empty as we rolled in right at the time of the show’s opening. But, the show was still on. The crowd was small to begin, but picked up a bit as the day went along. And we had a great time.
But, that Saturday, the news of Coronavirus spreading worldwide made it impossible to continue. At 7:30 that night, the governor of Nebraska stepped in and closed the show. Awards were given out right away, and on Sunday the participants moved their cars out.
Hopefully, we all will back out enjoying our cars again, racing, car shows, or just cruising. In the meantime, here are some pictures for you to enjoy.
