TONS of Autorama Pics thanks to... ironically.. Riddler
 
While there is considerable buzz surrounding the Dertroit Autorama for being the show where the Ridler Award is presented, there are hundreds of cars on display. Social media coverage favors the Great 8 and eventual Rilder winner, but we thought it would be fun to take a tour of the whole show. Special Thanks to Joe Miuccio (Lat-G user Riddler, go figure!) for taking the time to snap these photos and for sharing them with us!

Thanks again Joe!

Thanks for the pictures. Some standout cars for sure.

I hate to be nit picky and critical of other peoples vehicles. But A couple things that struck me.

First off was that orange Mustang called Stampede, with all the one off hand made parts for the car why would they just install later model Mustang taillights? I realize it took a lot of fab work to fit them, but I think a more custom light made for the car would be better.

The second one is on the Ford Unibody pickup. The two toned one, I am surprised to see the leather straps for the hood? On such a hi tech modern style build I don't get it? They just don't fit the style of the build and stand out took much for me.

Having said that, the build quality on both probably far exceeds what I could do.

That's the beauty I guess, you're free to build what you like!

Thanks guys, I go to the show every year and take pics. Just happy this year they get put to good use.

The orange Mustang was done by the shop that's painting my car. This is the reason so many pictures were taken. I believe the owner of the car wanted those taillights. But I can't comment for sure. I was bummed for the shop Drag U Down Customs here locally. They were told this car should of been in the Great 8 however the engine wouldn't fire. This is one of the requirements...

No disrespect intended. As I said at the end, they built a car far better than I could. I just question the judgement of using that light on an otherwise hand crafted car.

It's a shame it wouldn't fire, that must have been a huge let down.

Joe, thanks for taking all the pictures. Kevin, thanks for hosting them.

I just realized the rims on the Big Oak Dart look like my Ducati's rims. :D

That dark green camaro is really nice! But the front end kills it for me.

I guess I don't see all the changes made to the Impala since I don't know the cars that well. I just don't get it. I still think the GAP Mustang or Big Oak's Dart were better cars. Those two cars just look right. Great job guys!

Add the Miranda Built Charger in that list, too.

Thanks for the pictures, Al. They give a much better perspective on the level of the build than what I had seen so far. I figured, or had hoped, the car didn't win just because it was built by Foose.

Boss 5.0 03-23-2015 04:15 PM

That is why I thought it was genius of them to have the stock Impala next to it. Not for the judges as much as for the general public to really be able to see the changes to the car.

I don't know the definition of pornography, but I know it when I see it.

THOSE pics are it.

Should not be allowed on this site. The people here are susceptible to exposure to stuff like this.

just sayin....

It takes a lot these days for me to bother commenting on a car but the "Imposter" is very, very nice. Thanks for the pics.

Stampede is a Blue 69 Mustang that we built. We ended up with a Great 8 with it.
