AUTORAMA RECAP
March 18, 2013
It was so good to see old friends and meet new ones at this year's Autorama car show in Detriot. What a great weekend to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Ridler Award with up to 50 past winners in attendance. I was especially proud of the owners of the three Foose Ridler Award rides who were there to display the winners amongst the many others. The "Impression" won the Ridler award in 2005, the "Stallion" won in 2003, and the "Grandmaster" won in 2002. These were a handful of the many past champions on display.

HERE AT THE DETROIT AUTORAMA
March 7, 2013
I'm here at the 61st Detroit Autorama, America's greatest car show. It's a wonderful event put on by the team at Championship Auto Shows. The cornerstone of the 3-day show revolves around the Ridler Award, which is awarded to the best vehicle making its first public appearance at the show.
I haven't been able to attend the show for a couple years and I'm excited to be back. I'm truly honored that this year I am being inducted into the Detroit Autorama Circle of Champions. Really looking forward to the Ridler's Ball ceremony Friday night and getting to spend the evening with my close friends and colleagues.
I'm also displaying our recently completed 1948 Cadillac "Eldorod" at the show. We've only shown it once before, at the SEMA show in early November where it was GM's choice for Best of Show.
