A good friend of mine who runs the LaDawri.com website which is dedicated to the Fiberglass Cars of the 1950's and 1960's has collected the Petersen's Motorama Show Programs from 1950 till 1955. And has them up on his website for everybody to enjoy.

Great stuff of which I had heard before... but never been able to get my hands on any of them. Now we can see them here: Motorama Programs on LaDawri.com

And while your there check out the rest of the site as well... some really great Fiberglass cars

And a few samples below....

1950

1952

That A-V8 racer with the '32 shell make my heart thump. Man that is nice.

I have the 1950, 1952, 1954, and 1955 "Motorama" programs,with 1955 being the 6th annual.

In 1966 Robert Peterson brought back the "Motorama" show with the 7th annual show, again put on at the Pan Pacific Auditorium. I'm not sure if this was the last one,but I assume it was.

Jon Greuel and I (Geoff Hacker) maintain Ladawri.com and we were pleased to place the Motorama programs up for everyone's review. There's some really neat pix in those programs and cars I'd love to see again.

If anyone has original copies of the 1954, 1955, and 1966 programs, I would be interested in buying them or borrowing them to scan them and place on the website for everyone's review. Just drop me an e-mail at geoffrey@grhacker.com

Thanks..

Geoff
