New Guy from Detroit Area with Chicago Connection

[Bashton]

My name is Bob Ashton and I live and breath cars each and every day. I used to be a Show Manager for Championship Auto Shows, Inc. (the Autorama/World of Wheels people) and also the Chevy Vettefest. I am just an all around car guy who loves anything on wheels.

My personal ride is a modified 73 AMC Hornet. It has a 390/727 under the hood, is slammed with 17s all around and a variety of mild suspension mods. Nothing too radical, but she handles a lot better then it did when it left Kenosha! lol

I used to run an Automobile Collectibles store in the Detroit area called Auto Know that specialized in obsolete literature and other cool car stuff. I am also a member of the Vehicle Selection Committee for the annual Eyes on Design show, held on Fathers Day at the Edsel and Eleanor Ford Estate in Grosse Pointe, MI.

I am a part of a new All Indoor Muscle Car show that will take place this year in the Chicago area, but more about that later...

Thanks for allowing me to be a part of this neat site!
