Holy Hot Rod, Batman! It's Autorama!

March 8, 2013



A spring tradition returns to Detroit this weekend. The 61st Autorama starts Friday afternoon at Cobo Center. Think of it as the auto show for the hot rod crowd. This year’s Autorama includes a salute to the Batmobile. Actually, three generations of the Batmobile will be on display. Pete Toundas is the President of Championship Auto Shows, Inc., and the show manager for Autorama. WDET's Pat Batcheller asked him how he got all three of them in one place.
