The Ozark Drifters Car Club Auto-Rama was an indoor car show held by Ozark Drifters car club. The second annual Auto-Rama was held at the Springdale Roller Rink in Springdale, Arkansas in 1963. According to the Northwest Arkansas Times, the show attracted cars from Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas. The exhibition was open Saturday and Sunday, and it attracts thousands of onlookers. According to the club, the second show was even better than the first one. This was partly due to showing in the new roller rink. Only trouble was that it rained both days and the hardwood floor didn't like the water that the cars carried in. Neither did the owner of the rink.


Awards were awarded to 23 owners and groups for exhibits that ranged from unique restoration to late model pick up trucks.
