"In the still of the Night", Detroit Autorama , In the Witching hours,......

I would guess your all burnt out on Autorama,.... but here are some pictures of how it always looks to me,..... "In the still of the night",.........









Here is Big Olds,... taking a nap,... Big day tomorrow.

 

More, more, more!!! The Karl Orr car!!

 

George,...... Sorry buddy, I love the quality of craftsmanship,.... but,... DANG !

 

I talked with our old pal Chuck for a while,.... glad to see him get recognition. Hes a all around great guy, and a good friend !

 

Nice piece of tin !,..... (yea, it's a Steve's,.... but "Oh-Mama !" )

 

you wouldn't happen to have any info or more pics on the white top/dark red coupe would you?

 

Well, there are a lot more pictures, some of the quality is not so good,... (taken from a moving golf cart),.... but if this link will work, there are close to 200 pictures on it. Enjoy!

Thanks man, I cant wait to get down there

 

That car blew me away,... best coupe to convertible conversion I had ever seen,.... 1941 Pontiac I believe.

 

Like that black model a roadster alot.

 

Oh yeah !,...... what's not to love, I really think I would like it better on Deuce Rails,..... but I'm not sure,.... this car just "Flat has it !"

 

This car belonged to fallen club member Jerry Reen, he was rear ended by a young kid driving way to fast. The club got together a few years ago and repaired the car, the original flame stencils were still on someones shelf 30 years later and used again to duplicate the paint job. It's pretty cool to see it.............

 

Must be late the guard is even sleeping! How funny!

 

About 4:00 A.M.,..... This is exactly why MHRA has our own members patrol, No one looks after these cars, like car guys,.... It's been the same sence 1953.

 

Thanks for the pictures when the show is quiet.

 

isnt that a white snake song?

 

I am with you in spirit, my friend. If those walls could talk. The spirit of the little Mack roadster will always be there. Also the Yatch 40 Merc that sat across the aisle from your 36 coupe in the first Autorama. Damn, you're old!

 

Yep, Saw 'em shredd'em live in 1990. By the way Harmsway, you got some great pix, with style in writing too!

 

Actually, I find myself thinking about this song every year,... but it was by "the Five Satins"

In the words of the caractor John Millner,...

"Yeah,.... Been a long time, ain't it ?",...... As the years go by (like other things in my life) I am excited and a little sad around Autorama time, My old buddy Clyde and I talk about the cars, the friends,... and the ones we miss,.... I guess that's why I like working the overnights so much,.... I get to spend a little time again with all of them.

It's not about the cars,.... its about the people.

8 years ago,... with a very dear old friend,......

 

Orr.....Best pics yet. Thanks.

 

Thanks for the extra shots of that roadster, that thing nails it.

 

Dennis, Looks like you get the best seat in the house, and the best choice of camera angles. I'm envious, I'll bet the ghosts of all the shows that have taken place there roam around freely after the big lights go out. Also envious of all of the Detroit hot rod history that you've been privilaged to witness first hand.
I'll have to get up north and visit with you and "my '34 3w" sometime soon.

Great job MHRA. for allowing every car owner participating to 'sleep well' at night knowing you guys are treating the vehicles like your own...keeping watch over them properly,..and great photos,..without the massive crowds around...thanks again!

 

nice pictures, sure is different then having the mass of people there! I took a few pictures of mostly people and stuff figuring someone else would take better pictures of the cars.
