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 and 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 members included Sam Barris, Dick Bertolucci, and 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.
