Custom car show at Cal Expo in Sacramento. It is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year.

I've been to Autorama every year since 1973. It's a great show for custom cars and bikes...really anything transportation related.

It costs about $18 to get in but you can usually get discount tickets at Les Schwab.

I'll be there on Sunday.

In what building will the Corvette booth be located?

Here's a website with info.

I was out of town so missed the Autorama, first time I missed it in 25 years but thats because I worked at Cal Expo for 25 years.
It really is the best car show in this area.

I have mostly seen that beautiful 86. I know you have talked about the C5, did not know you were hoarding a C3 as well. You are a lucky man.
