" The San Antonio Autorama starts off the show year in Texas, and a fine start it is! It's a weekend-long show in The Alamo Dome, and it has something for everyone..vendors, RC car racing for the kids, as well a one of the "Toonz" cars on display. Oh yeah, did I mention one of the finest collections of hot rods and customs you'll see anywhere!! No matter what your taste in hot rods, whether it be traditional, billet, rat rod, T-bucket, muscle car....it was all there. There was even stuff for the "monster off-road" guys as well as those who prefer a low rider. And the motorcycle guys had plenty to look at too! This is what indoor car shows are all about!"
