Check Out February's AutoRama Classic Car Show
Classic car shows are the heart and soul of car culture. It's at these big events where car buyers, builders, sellers, and newcomers all get to meet in one place, mingle, and talk shop. It's where we can show off our old cars made new and where all that work put into a hot rod restoration sees some professional appreciation. A classic car show is also where we goggle at new techniques and make crazy promises to ourselves to take on exciting and seemingly insurmountable tasks. And while there are certainly lone wolves in the industry who prefer to stay at home when the big show dates roll around, the rest of us certainly enjoy showing off our hard work and beautiful acquisitions.
One such big classic car show that's just around the corner and high on our must-go calendar list is the February 15, 16, and 17 Dallas Autorama Show happening at the Dallas Market Hall.
The Dallas Autorama Show at the Dallas Market Hall Feb 15-17
Autorama is a touring event promoted by Championship Auto Shows Incorporated (CASI) and is renowned for showcasing premier custom cars and hot rods. This will be the 59th year the show has gone on the road and headed to Texas and it will be the 59th time that car lovers from around the region will line up at the doors eager to attend.
Autorama is the place to see it all. You will find custom hot rods, lowriders, refurbished classics of all brands and sizes, chop shop demonstrations, racing cars, swap meet, custom parts makers, and so much more. Need to find a unique and hard-to-find part for your latest pet project? Then you'll be hard pressed to find a better place to find what you need than that swap meet and row of vendors found at the Dallas Autorama Show -- that is unless you go to the first and foremost Autorama show in Detroit next month. There will also be cars for sale and up on the auction block for those of you looking to purchase that next pet project.
General admission for this classic car show is $19.00 per adult and $7.00 for children ages 6 to 12 with children 5 and younger admitted free. Discounted tickets of $17.00 for adults and $6.00 for children ages 6 to 12 can be found at any Dallas-area O'Reilly Auto Parts shop.
CHRA & Autorama
Our team at Customs & Hot Rods of Andice love taking part in the Autorama shows -- both regionally and in the big Detroit show. In fact, it was at the 2016 Detroit Autorama classic car show where a classic car that we worked on -- Billy and Debbie Thomas's 1939 "Olds Cool" -- won the prestigious Ridler Award. The Ridler Award is one of the restoration world's most prestigious awards and is awarded to those vehicles that emphasize creativity, engineering, and quality workmanship.
