WebRidesTV and Lauren Jones are here to bring you our top 10 favorite rides at the Sacramento AutoRama. AutoRama is held each year at Cobo Hall in Detroit Michigan. Put on by the Michigan Hot Rod Association, this show has been coming around every year for the past 55 years.
10. 1970 Big Block Camaro fitted with nitrous and blower to make it the ultimate drag car.
9. The Panhead Slingshot was custom built from the ground up to give it a unique and vintage feel and appearance.
8. This 57 Chevy is packed with a ZZ430 engine and a fresh black on black paint job.
7. This purple people eating El Dorado is sure to catch anyone’s eye on the street. Rick Door was nice enough to show off his own 1957 El Dorado that looks like a concept car that would have been on the turntables back in the day. They did this buy cutting off the roof, and making an entirely custom front windshield and making a custom frame for it. In addition, a ton of body mods like billet grills and smoothing the body were done to give it a finishing touch. This ride also sports a smooth fiberglass interior and is topped off with similar Classic wire wheels
6. This Indy style deuce roadster has custom bits in every nook and cranny.
5. Twin supercharged wagon with an audio system that will stop the healthiest of hearts.
4. This 36 ford 2 door is on fire and has a bunch of unique bits like a rear mounted radiator.
3. This 53 Buick Skylark is owned by James Hetfield, lead singer of Metallica. When James wanted to build a custom car to remember, he talked to Rick Door. Rick is known for building some wild hot rods and this 1953 postwar convertible Buick Skylark is good proof of it. This rare Skylark is one of 1600 ever built. The Carson top was another sleek idea by Rick Door. In addition, it has hundreds of other trick mods such as classic wire wheels, nosed at the front, shaved doors, billet mirrors, molded hood scoops, smoothed front bumper, and a fancy guitar/amp with the same styling. Italian white pearl is on the inside with some hot white leather.
2. Not your average Mustang, this one is modernized and fitted with a twin turbo intercooled 427 small block.
1. Combine a Carson top, packer tails, Plymouth grill, and you get this pinstriped cruiser that has all the best bits put together to create our favorite ride at the show.
