DALLAS, Texas — The O’Reilly Auto Parts AutoRama presented by Super Start Batteries will celebrate its 50th anniversary on Feb. 19-21 in Dallas. The milestone auto show will feature a salute to the past five decades, as well as a stellar lineup of custom cars, motorcycles, racecars, tuners, trucks and family entertainment at Dallas Market Hall. The O’Reilly Auto Parts AutoRama is sanctioned by the International Show Car Association (ISCA) and is part of the Summit Racing Show Car Series.
An intimate anniversary display, along with the complete collection of automobiles on the show floor, will honor five decades of passion for custom vehicles. The feature car lineup is highlighted by the Drag City USA exhibit presented by Reed Speed, where some of the most storied dragster’s in NHRA history will be on display. Dragsters headed to Dallas include Connie Kalitta’s 1967 "Bounty Hunter," Don Prudhomme’s 1970 "Wynn’s Winder," and "Swamp Rat III," "Swamp Rat IV" and "Swamp Rat VIII" driven by Don Garlits in the 1960s. One of last year’s most popular displays, the Motorama exhibit presented by Ol’ Skool Rodz, will be back in 2010 and feature even more of the area’s best traditional "rodz."
Celebrity appearances will be headlined by WWE superstar Melina and UFC fighter Rich Franklin. Additional attractions will include a toy show for kids, a new Game Hype gaming area, the always popular burnout contests and the cacklefest with a vintage nitro dragster.
