Legends of the Autorama

The Legends of the Autorama was created in 1968 to recognize persons who contributed to the success and history of the show. From 1968-1980 there was an average of one inductee per year. Some of these inductees include Paul & Bonnie Lohrey and Dr. Victor Hawkins. There was a nine-year gap until 1989 when Don Tognotti revived The Legends of the Autorama and inducted 11 members that year. Some of those included Sam Barris, Dick Bertolucci & John D’Agostino to name a few. Since that time the Legends have grown to 180 total members. Today inductees are carefully chosen by a committee of dedicated individuals who are committed to making the Legends of the Autorama flourish.
