Detroit autorama 09

Every year I make the trip to Detroit for the annual Autorama and this year was no exception. The car club I am in has been putting on this show for 57 years and every year it gets better. If you have never been it's worth going. As I walked through the show, I figured I would take some picture of the German cars for our Pap-Parts clients. The VW's were represented well but there were few Porsche's, and only one Audi.
This is my personal favorite - a Volks Willies - VERY COOL
All the details... sorry small print
The first give away is that Beetle front suspension
You have to admit this is cool
Second give away is that rear engine but check out the exhaust (exits in front of the rear wheels)
A lowered '66 - great detail on this car
The '66's specs.
A very clean '67 - the owners dressed in 60's clothes all weekend
a nice 356 sorta - replica but really neat
They still used a lot of Porsche parts
This is owned by the same guy with the Volks Willy
Very cool - very well done - nice detail work
From the tuner section of the show
very cool - nice wheels
Bug convertible with some add ons.
The only Audi... but it represented well
Oh yea, it's badddd
It's a boxster... it's all closed up...
boxster specs??
A bad bug... granted it has been slightly altered
and it will bug some purists
but a turbo charged small block Ford
Has got to be a blast... no matter who you are.

Just a Thought...
