(Photos by Mike Brooks) – Hey, we know that the whole Autorama deal went down a little while back but the fact is that we got so many great photos from so many sources that we’re still going through all of them and sharing them with you as we do. Mike Brooks was a prolific contributor of Detroit Autorama photos so we’re putting the spotlight back on his work from that weekend again with this gallery of never published photos. This one has race cars, hot rods, rat rods, some of the Great 8 cars, and even some of the lovely ladies in the pin-up contest.

If you can’t get into the stuff you see in this gallery, you need to ditch cars for a different hobby like crochet or interpretative dance or something. Screaming green Mopars, beautiful ladies, some crusty rat rods, and historic race cars? Those are like the major pillars of the hot rodding world.
