We’ve covered every inch of the 2010 Detroit Autorama for three days, and tonight was the end of it with the traditional exiting of all the hot rods out of Cobo Hall and into the snowy Detroit winter night. We’ve heard great stories of the load-out night turning into a pretty good show in itself, but this year all the drivers were sadly pretty tame as they left the building. That didn’t stop us from getting a final photo gallery of some of Autorama’s cars in action on the street. It’s a nice end to a great weekend.

See these cars? These cars do one thing and one thing only – and that’s kill Natzis! Alright, maybe these bare metal beasties don’t actually kill “Natzis” per se but they are indeed Inglorious Bastards in their own right. This ’57 Cadillac and ’39 Ford are just two concepts to spring from the beautiful mind of Tim Divers. While their specs may offend some purists neither of these works-in-progress are even remotely the Bastardest (most bastardly?) ride to roll out of the doors of this fantasy factory. Hit the jump to see La Bella Machina Bastardo and more from Divers Street Rods

The other day I blogged about this cool computer rendering of a 21st-century hot rod. Yeah well, screw renderings–this one’s real! This car was designed for SEMA by GM Performance Parts and Race Car Replicas, and unlike the last hot rod I drooled over, this one is packing a proper drivetrain.  Under that long sleek bonnet lies a 6.0 liter (most likely the LS2) putting out a modest 400hp. In my opinion it doesn’t look as cool as the Delithium, but real beats rendered every time. Check out the rest of the gallery over at Jalopnik.
