Miss Autorama Pinup contest, March 2, 2019
The 2019 Miss Autorama contest had a full stage of contestants, and a huge crowd in attendance.
It was a great show at the Miss Autorama contest this year, a little different format, longer than last year and clearly well organized. As is the tradition, the contest was preceded by the Twistin’ Tarantulas, one of my favorite Detroit bands. All the gals were lined up to sign in during the last few songs.
It was a huge huge turnout, folks were lining up an hour in advance. This was before the show even started:
Former Miss Autorama 2013 “Eve of Destruction” (Michelle Welch) judging the 2019 contest. (Oh, it was really hot down there)
Casey, from 106.7 “Detroit’s Wheels” was on hand again to MC the event. This year’s format was more toward the format of and introduction, then a short interview, then a chance for the girls to strut their stuff. I would like to see them return one element, where the ladies provide a bio, and they are asked questions about their bio.
The outfits span from 1940’s style to the mid-60’s, and um… Jessica Rabbit.
We’ve seen Ava the Tiny Pinup in years past, and she’s less tiny every year. We’re looking forward to when she can compete in the contest herself.
“Leena Alure” has been a contender for several years. This year, she was #19, and is the 2019 Miss Autorama. Congratulations to Leena for finally claiming the title.
You can see all my shots in the slideshow below. Unfortunately, the latest updates to WordPress, which has a lot of good things, also has a lot of wonky things. Like you have to manually arrange the photos in order, and ain’t nobody got time for that. If I find a way to fix it, I’ll come back and update this gallery.
You can share any photo with the sharing link in the corner. Feel free to share away on social media, but please don’t download files. If you would like a copy for your own use, please contact me and we’ll work something out.
