There have been a lot rumors floating around concerning the Detroit Autorama's Pinstriper's Reunion and Auction, so we asked the promotors of the show to address what is going on and what the facts are. Their response is listed below.
On behalf of all of us here at Championship Auto Show, Inc. we would like to THANK YOU for your efforts to continue to move forward with the Pinstriper's Auction at the upcoming 57th Annual Detroit Autorama. With the last minute adjustments we want to help spread the word that the auction will continue to operate with a seamless transition for the stripers that have graciously donated their time and efforts in the past.
We want to set the facts straight and answer any questions that anyone who wants to be involved in the auction, so please invite anyone who you know that has questions or comments to contact us anytime.
Items provided to all pinstripers for the event:
1) Two exhibitors passes for each striper
2) Paint will be provided
3) Panels will be provided
4) Saturday afternoon Coney Dog specials provided by Leader Dog
I will be the point of contact in advance of the show. Tony Baker managed the striping area last year for us and will once again take care of whatever needs arise during the event. The Leader Dogs for the Blind will be our charity this year. They recently have been awarded the "Best In America" Seal by the members of the Independent Charities of America. Out of a million charities in the USA, less than 2,000 charities have received this award and we are proud to have them as our part of our event and they are extremely excited to be a part of the Detroit Autorama tradition. WRIF is Detroit's #1 radio station and they also want to acknowledge the Pinstripers Auction by donating a WRIF guitar to be auctioned off. They are also helping to raise the awareness of the auction on air leading up to and during the Autorama weekend.
We cannot do this without everyone on this list. Again, if you know anyone who is interested in being part of this outstanding event, please have them call us for details.
Thank you for your time and interest in keeping this tradition alive and helping it grow to be better than ever.
Best Regards,
Bob Lawson
