More than 500 hot rods, customs, muscle cars, lowriders, trucks and motorcycles will take center stage when the 73rd annual Sacramento Autorama returns to Cal Expo on May 3-5.

Gearheads and fun-seekers alike will enjoy 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 feature the inaugural World’s Most Beautiful Lowrider award, recognizing the show’s most outstanding lowrider entry.

This year’s show will also feature a collection of high-horsepower hot rods from West Coast Pro-Street Outlaws, plus the Traditional Rod & Custom Showcase, highlighting cars and history from the ‘40s, ‘50s and ‘60s, and more than 25 car clubs celebrating in the Butch Gardner Club House.

Locals are encouraged to show off their classic rides at the Autorama Drive-In for one or all three days. Participants will receive event admission for two people, a goodie bag and the best parking on the premises.
