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.
