Howard Cohen Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 I was at the show Thursday during set up and took a few photos, just over a thousand I would have taken more but I got tired after being there from 9AM to about 6:30 Not only do these people spend years building a car, then they spend another 20-30 hours polishing it again...and again...and again Enjoy... http://public.fotki.com/howardcohen/detroit-autorama-2015/
vintagercr Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 Hey Howard, I drove yesterday. Thought I would bump into you. Another great show. Noticed that in the vendor area, plastic is shrinking and more diecast. Great photo's..
bigdrag1 Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 Great pics Howie. I`m going to try and get there one of these years...
unclescott58 Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 1014 pics? Great detail shots for building models. But, a little too much for one sitting. How about a shorter highlight version? Scott

Howard Cohen Posted March 7, 2015 Author Posted March 7, 2015 Steve - I had to be back in Toronto Friday, so I did the show on Thursday, missed a few cars John - I don't think you can get to Detroit from Cambellford...there is an invisible line just south of the Chrysler dealer at the provincial park R.Scott - a shorter version? I didn't even take photos of all the cars Greg - get cutting
unclescott58 Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 Oh, I'd keep the long version going. But, it would be nice to see a highlight version. Then we can go back and look at what we're more interested in later. For example I really liked looking at the first Ford you showed. The second one not as much. It would be nice to see the car in general before looking at all the detail shots. And great shots they all are. Just a lot to look through on something's that may not interest me as much. Scott

bobthehobbyguy Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 Great pictures. Thanks for taking thectime to take and post them.
Ben Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 They still hold shows in Detroit?? I have heard its a ghost town!
sbk Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 If you use the thumbnails, you can scan through quickly Exactly! Thanks for the photos.
DaveM Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 They still hold shows in Detroit?? I have heard its a ghost town! Still pretty vibrant downtown, but you need to stay on the main drags between the downtown area and the freeways in and out. Some parts of the City are total wastelands, while many of the suburbs are really booming. Not a good place to go exploring, though. Know where you are going and the best way to get there. The Police don't control the whole City.
Mikevango Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 I am on the bus right now heading home. I bought two models and took zero photos.
Howard Cohen Posted March 8, 2015 Author Posted March 8, 2015 Ben - the only ghost town in the U.S. is the state of Texas, especially San Antonio
Howard Cohen Posted March 8, 2015 Author Posted March 8, 2015 FYI...the attendance for the Detroit Autorama varies from 125,000 to 175,000, depending on who you ask
DumpyDan Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Well Howard you have done it again, for toughs of us who had to work or just couldn't get to the show for one reason or another. I personally thank-you very much and enjoy every photo. So thanks again Howard appreciated all your work.
Howard Cohen Posted March 8, 2015 Author Posted March 8, 2015 Dan - you're welcome. Will you be at Heritagecon on the 22nd?
