The first show was organized in 1950 by the Thunderbolts Car Club (their first meeting was at Harry Westergard´s Shop in 1945). The members were arguing who had the nicest roadster. They decided to make a car show to let the public decide who had the nicest. Right now it is the 2nd longest car show running indoor car show in the World and 2016 was the 66th Autorama.
