    a sample of what you guys are missing

    The 51st Houston Autorama kicked off thanksgiving weekend here to a sold out floor of 750+ vehicles for the first time in a very very long time. The show runs a total of 4 days and has a number of heavy hitters from the indoor show scene to try to make the Magnificent 7 and then be crowned with the Milwinder award

    I made it to day numero dos and shot .......... gasp ........ 568 photos (sorry brian) and I made it thru , eh maybe 2/3rds of the show, so to hold you guys over and give you a glimps of what yer missin, here ya go, sorry im such a tease ;D





    to get these pics you literly have to know someone higher up, well thenx to Bob Lawson ISCA show manager he allowed me to get those pics, btw Bob is one helluva cool dude and LOVES the BS site, thats how I got the pics ...


    so Bob, THANK YOU AGAIN !

    Indoor shows hold a special place with me. Those were the first shows I went to as a kid. The Autorama at Omaha's Civic Auditorium.

    I don't think you took enough photos. And, why are you making Brian go through them all?

        Looks like a great show, thanks for sharing the photos. I too went first to indoor "World of Wheels" car shows, the Sioux City Auditorium and the Omaha Civic Auditorium. I miss these great Auditorium settings, they were classy buildings.

          Ditto on the indoor shows........we used to take
          the Greyhound to St. Louis to attend.

          Great couple of shots.......really gives one an
          idea of the offering.

                I'm sorry, but I don't "get" shows that allow late Vettes/Chargers/Magnums/Challengers, etc. That's what parking lots are for. I don't want to pay $20 or more to see shit that's on the streets/parking lots/showroom floors. For every percent of late shit there is, they should knock an equal percent off the admission price

                  stuff a second glance.

                    I really like looking at vendor's products at a show. Recently, at a Pontiac show, there were no vendors due to space limitations, they turned away a few bitchen old Pontiacs at the gate for the same reason, but there were 20 or so 2004(?) bellybutton Manaros with GTO badges on them

                        That's the name I was looking for. World of Wheels. My Dad would buy me the souvenier book with pics of the big cars. If I was smart, I would've kept those.

                            LOL, Jim.

                            Reminds of years ago at a Starbird show during the award presentation, some punk kid with a ricer was bitching about not winning any trophies.
                            Since all I could see was a nice paint job, wire wheels and a chrome fart can for mods I asked him why his car deserved trophies.
                            His reply? "I spent over $20,000 on the stereo system!".
                            After I stopped laughing, I told him it was a car show - not a concert.
