The Detroit Autorama is a completely unique show experience because it covers such a broad spectrum of classic car, truck, and hot rod builds.
You’ve got your several hundred thousand dollar, no expense spared, shop based, builds up top, while down below you’ve got the back yard built, incredibly creative, projects on the basement floor. It’s really everything you could imagine entirely under one roof, at the end of a long winter.
Today’s coverage –provided by Kristina Doyle– will start on ground level then make it’s way underground to the portion of the show dubbed AutoRama Extreme.
This Camaro sure gets around I think it’s appeared in at least one event coverage post a year since 2009.

Hope you enjoyed the coverage, watch out for a few more Autorama photos to make their way up to the Stance Is Everything Facebook fanpage over the next view days.
Nice coverage. If I could pick one it’d be the rusted crow model A. The header one that one is crazy, love it
The header is really wild on that. I like that it’s a theme build that makes sense too.
some really cool stuff and amazing workmanship do you have a pic frontal on the 39 chevy?
Ollie I’ll check for you
