Enter and stroll through 20 acres of excitement Cars-Live Music and more during the Motorama @ Ink-N-Iron; Open to all American made vehicles “pre-69?.

This year we bring the Motorama under the Queen Mary Dome. We have built a series of displays that illustrates the car show and drag racing history of Long Beach and throughout Southern California. We will be showcasing the finest in Traditional Hot Rods-Kustoms-Motorcycles, Street Rods and more alongside historically matched dragsters-gassers and altereds on the Lions Drag Strip diorama, complete with all the signage-artifacts and photo archive of the historical Long Beach drag strip. Besides that, we have Barris Kustom City. We have built the historical façade of the shop on Atlantic Blvd., circa 1959 to display 3 traditional kustoms. Then, we re-created the cover of Motor Trends’ 1949 cover with its 1930’s ranch house and grass front yard , all life size to display the very car that was on the cover in the original shot. Lastly, the creator of the Rat Fink character, Ed “Big Daddy” Roth’s’ shop has been resurrected to display his wild automotive creations of the “60’s”. But, by far the most interesting feature of the “Motorama Experience” is the museum quality presentation of the Wall of Legends display alongside the Renegades C/C historical presentation. These two displays will transform you back to the “Hey Day” and beginning of the Hot Rod and Kustom car craze daddio. Through the three dimensional castings of the legends hands holding the tool of their craft on the Wall of Legends, these are the men who forged this sport of hopping up and kustomizing automobiles of the day. To the illustration of one of Americas most revered and respected car clubs, Renegades, they were formed in Long Beach back in 1941 by 5 high school friends. This display shows the club from their beginning to their rise in car show prominence to become Car Craft Magazine’s “Americas Car Club of the Year”, 1959. We are able to show you pictures of the club members and their cars, to their 5 day Rod & Kustom Motorama held in the LB Municipal Auditorium back in 1958-1960 as well as other club activities.

Additionally, this year we have created the Legend of Motorsports Special Recognition award. This accolade is given to honor those individuals that have spent 30 years or more of their lives fostering this sport; through building their car at home to redesigning cars and having them built to those that find survivors and resurrect them in great detail. This award will be hand made by Mickey Galloway. This year’s inaugural honorees will be _____________________, and will have cars on display.

Be a part of Peoples Choice and decide which Debuting automobile will take home $500 +plaque.

All around the outside of the Dome will be traditional hot rods-kustoms-motorcycles and street rods. Another of the many areas of activity is the Horsepower Corral. This area is for our Cackle Dragsters to ignite the glorifying heyday of drag racing in So. Cal. Each night they will fire up to make ya’ cry with the joy of nitro.

Be on hand Sunday for the crowning of Americas Kustom D’Elegance and Americas Kustom Extraordinaire. And See who takes Home the Gold!
