2014 Detroit Autorama - Show Coverage

This year's Autorama was as amazing as ever!  It blows my mind that year after year, the majority of the cars are fresh cars, not recycled cars from shows past.  Without delay, let's get to the cars!

I hadn't a clue what this was.  It's a Hudson,and a monster of a vehicle!  This thing would have ruled the road back in the day, as when you'd see it coming, you'd definitely wanna move aside.

This was an AMAZING Vette.  Believe it or not, it's a kit car!  The body is by Downs, and if you recall, I did a blog on Downs a few years ago when they announced they were selling off their body division.  Thankfully, another western Michigan company bought them up, and continue the tradition of producing top of line bodies.  The price for this body?  $59,000!

This Cougar was absolutely amazing!  Quite possibly my favorite car of the show.  I've never been a huge fans of the car either, but this was truly the cat's ass.  I'm also not a huge fan of getting rid of all the chrome, the this car just nails it!
