72nd Sacramento Autorama

Sacramento, California - 4/28/2023 12:00 pm to 4/30/2023 06:00 pm

More than 500 hot rods, customs, muscle cars, trucks and motorcycles will take center stage when the 72nd Sacramento Autorama returns to the Cal Expo Fairgrounds on April 28-30.

Gearheads and fun-seekers alike will enjoy the spectacle of one of Northern California’s largest annual car shows. In addition to a full slate of award-worthy custom creations, this year’s event, presented by O’Reilly Auto Parts, will also feature the Traditional Rod & Custom Showcase, highlighting cars and history from the ‘40s, ‘50s and ‘60s, as well as more than 25 car clubs celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Butch Gardner Club House.

Entrants from across the country will compete for the prestigious “Custom d’Elegance” award, presented by ARP Fasteners, to the best chopped, channeled or sectioned vehicle from 1935-48 that embodies the true spirit of a classic custom. In addition to the $5,000 prize, the winner’s name will be added to the historic perpetual trophy alongside iconic customizers like Sacramento’s Joe Bailon, the first to win it in 1953.

Locals are encouraged to show off their classic rides at the Autorama Drive-In. Entries are welcome for just one or all three days and it is open to pre-1973 cars and trucks (no motorcycles are allowed and all vehicles must be driven into the event). Participants will receive event admission for two people, a goodie bag and the best parking on the premises. More than 400 cars are expected to participate in the Autorama Drive-In.

The family-friendly event will feature live music, vendors, food and entertainment, as well as autograph sessions with popular TV personality Courtney Hansen each day. Hansen is best known for her roles on “Ride of Your Life” and “Overhaulin’.”
