The Road Knights - 60th Anniversary! Archive from Detroit Autorama '01 The Autorama, as in years past, recognizes a participating club and allows them floor space for a special display. The honoree for the 2001 Autorama is the Road Knights of Detroit, celebrated 50 years of activities. Who would have thought that a group of friends from Cooley HS in northwest Detroit, who formed a sort of rod/social club, would still be around 50 years later with five members having over 25 years membership? The longest active member is Harry McAuliffe, with 49 years. Road Knights joined the Michigan Hot Rod Association in '52 and became partof hot rod shows around that time in the Detroit area. They were drag racing flathead Ford powered rail at the time; in the 60's an injected small block powered front engine dragster; and early 70's a rear engined Logge Bros injected big block Chevy dragster. Now it is mainly a street rod club, with a few drag cars still tucked away. They are best know for the "BARN SHOW". This will be their 15th year of hosting the Wilson Barn Show during the month of June, with participation from all members, in cooperation with the Friends of the Barn, and the blessings from the City of Livonia. The club uses it's proceeds from the show to support local charities and to further promote safe street rodding. They are one of the oldest clubs in the area and one of the seven that form the MHRA. |
