    My math says this is the 59th. (?)

    The 1st show was in 1953.

    Hey Roadstar...
     
  8. Well they are billing it as the 60TH so maybe something to do with the leap year:eek:

    The year 2000 is given value as a year (remember the Y2K thing) ,.. as well as 1953. OK I don't know if your following me,... not even sure if I am following my self. So just to make it clear write 1953, 1954, 1955,... ect. all the way to 2012,.... Count them or number them,... and you have 60.

    If you were at the first Autorama in 1953,.. and at the next one in 1954,... there would have been 2 Autoramas,.. although only one year would have passed,.... Does anybody understand me ??????:eek::D

    I hope this helps,... I'm going to take some aspirin now.:)

    Okay,....

    1953 to 1954,... 1953 is given the value of 1,... (not zero, and 1954 = 1),... , 1954 then would be given the value of 2 ,........ DAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!

    Just write all the years down on a piece of paper and count how many there is !,.. If you don't understand what I mean,... this will amaze and astound you !!!!!

    You can tell your friends and neighbors,... Seriously, this is the 60th.
     
  12. I agree with 60 unless they missed a year of having it somewhere along the way.
     
  13. Trust me it's the 60th.

  15. One of the few things I've learned in life is when someone says "trust me" DON'T.

    But in this case, I can't see the harm in it. ;):D

    Can't wait to see everybody for the big 60 in Deeetroit.

    I'm thinking of booking another tour of the GM Heritage Center for us HAMB folks during the Autorama ( I heard somewhere that this is the 60th, but I'm not real sure ).

    I set up the tour last year and it worked out pretty well. The cost would be ten bucks.

    Anybody interested??

    We need at least 30 folks to get a tour. I'll start another thread for the details.
     

  20. Count us in for two depending on when you're going...

    Show us where that's in the rules...
     
  26. Let me clear up the 60th thing. When you were born, then a year later you had your first birthday, which was actually your second.
    There, that clears it up.
    I was always good with figures.

    Well it looks like I'm going whether I want to or not. My work has a spot upstairs and told me I'm taking one of my vehicles, problem is its not the wagon (they don't understand cool). Its an off topic car but if you decide to come up and look around look for a Purple, Tubbed, Blown vehicle license UL LUZ. I'll be happy to discuss old cars with ya.
     
  30. Most people bring me some sort of gift there first time to the show

    Well some people do

    Ok one person did once

    Well they were supposed to bring something but forgot.

    :eek:
