2025 GNRS Pinstriping Charity Auction
The Grand National Roadster Show was packed with eye candy, from high-dollar show cars to garage-built hot rods, but one of the coolest parts of the event wasn’t about horsepower—it was about artistry. The Pinstriping Charity Auction has become a staple of GNRS, bringing together some of the best pinstripers in the game to sling lines, lay down color, and raise cash for a great cause.
Product Spotlight: Posies SuperSlide Springs
Let’s face it—old leaf springs don’t always deliver the smoothest ride. Between years of wear and the natural friction created as steel leaves slide against one another, it’s no surprise that many traditional hot rods and classic trucks can feel a little rough around the edges. That’s exactly the problem Posies SuperSlide Springs were designed to solve. Instead of simply building another replacement leaf spring, Posies re-engineered the traditional multi-leaf design to provide a smoother ride, better handling, and improved suspension response—all while keeping the vintage appearance that belongs under a classic hot rod or truck.

The Foxbody Takeover
For those not in the know, the Fox Body Mustang (1979-1993) is one of the most beloved platforms in the muscle car world. It’s light, it’s fast, and it takes mods like a champ. The Detroit Foxbody Car Club came to Autorama ready to prove exactly that, filling their display with everything from factory-correct restorations to wild, high-horsepower builds. Every car had a story, and every owner had grease under their nails to back it up.
More Than Just a Club
Car clubs come and go, but the Detroit Foxbody Car Club is the real deal. They aren’t just weekend warriors showing up for a few parking lot meets; they’re wrenching on cars together, helping each other track down impossible-to-find parts, and hitting the streets every chance they get. That’s what makes this group special—it’s not just about owning a Fox Body, it’s about living the lifestyle.
What’s Next?
Autorama might be in the rearview mirror, but the Detroit Foxbody Car Club isn’t slowing down. More meets, more cruises, more shows—you name it, they’re in. If you’ve got a Fox and want to roll with a crew that gets it, find them on Facebook. They’re always welcoming new members who share the same love for these cars.
The 2025 Detroit Autorama was a killer show, and the Detroit Foxbody Car Club left a serious mark. If you didn’t catch them this time, don’t worry—you’ll hear them coming at the next big event. The Fox Body legacy is alive and well, and this crew is making sure it stays that way.
