Event Coverage Indianapolis autorama-saturday photos

Didn't get to spend as much time as I wanted to there, but I did manage to shoot some good photos that represent this year's show!

 

Bill Bronson's deuce roadster-originally the give-away car at the 1950 autorama! Also pictured is his dragster, both cars originally owned by his grandpa, his dad, and now himself! The other deuce coupe pictured here is kind of a mystery car to me, don't know anything about it, but very cool!

 

Thanks for the pics, family matters kept me from being ble to come up this year.

 

55 G***er is a project almost completed by fellow gearheads of the Road Kings car club.

 

Some more cool hotrods!

 

These are some of my other shots from the "Motorama 1962" side of the Indianapolis Autorama

 

Rest of my photos are from the building that houses the "show cars" that you would expect to see at an indoor show this time of year.
The roadster & nailhead powered coupe are fairly local to the area. The Lincoln powered Deuce roadster is a beautiful piece, especially that engine. Other Lincoln touches include the door push****ons, hubcaps, wheels?, inst. cluster/stg wheel, taillights.

 

More pics of the Lincoln-Deuce

 

going tomorrow, thanks for posting! looks like there are a lot of nice cars

 

looks like fun, I'll be there tomorrow

 

Several muscle cars were on hand as well, some pretty impressive examples here.

 

I went too!

The Lincoln powered 32 was my favorite. The heads appeared to have been ceramic coated, anyone know for sure? The engine is a work of art alone.

 

cool stuff, thanks

 

Love the Ranchero semi-kustom

 

The best part of the show was Gene Winfield gave a free seminar. It was really just a question and answer type thing but it was really cool. There was only about 10 people there wich was cool because you could ask alot of questions but it is kinda sad more people didn't take advantage. Gene is the coolest.

 

Nice pictures, thank you

 

I got to talk with Gene Winfield a couple minutes, but I had to leave before the seminar
How come the people I go with never want to stay all day? They think it is time to go once you have seen all the cars...

 

Usually make it down for this one, always a good show. Family and friends in Indy

 

**** I miss cars and shows! Been 2 one since our show last may! Ugh

 

That is a great story - great history!!!!

 

Thanks for sharing. Looks a real nice show except for the muscle cars. (HAHA). This is so cool. Slim

 

Yeah, I remember going to Bill's house when I was a kid with my dad and seeing this sitting out back in the barn! I called Bill a few years ago and mentioned I'd like to get that out, wash it off, and haul it around to some car shows. I think thats what made him decide to start taking it to shows himself. Here is another shot of it outdoors with my Chevy behind it.

 

Not a Lincoln motor,
Heads are our Polished aluminum ones....Its a 371 Olds Rocket that we just recently finished
