The 1953 Motorama Display

The General Motors Autorama was the perfect event for a post-war American audience ready to take giant steps into a future beckoning with optimism. An outgrowth of GM chairman Alfred P. Sloan’s yearly industrial luncheons at New York City's Waldorf Astoria Hotel, the Motorama dazzled the public with displays of experimental prototypes, concept vehicles and flagship models. Mecum is proud to present four General Motors classics whose debut at the 1953 Motorama made automotive history, and which today are among America’s most revered vintage automobiles: the Buick Skylark Convertible, Oldsmobile Fiesta Convertible, Cadillac Eldorado Convertible and the Corvette Roadster. We invite you to visit our special Motorama-inspired display and step back in time to a world of automotive wonder and excitement.
