Great job on the blog...hats off to you Logan! Good choice of music. Click on playlist for the song you like while viewing this blog. This blog also was created for a co-worker who works with my mom who also likes Blackie's car shows.


Logan is 18 years old and enjoys cars, motorcycles, diesel trucks...and pretty girls.

I looked forward to this day. My parents always spoke about Blackie Gejeian. Always heard about this man but never met him. So, I decided to go to his show and chat about old times.

This year was the 50th anniversary of the Blackie Gejeian Autorama Car Show. Just as he has done with each Autorama, Gejeian has traveled across the country to hand-pick each vehicle for his show. This year there was more than 250 vehicles on display.
Over the years, the car show has featured everything on wheels from the Batmobile to award-winning motorcycles. During the years, the 83 year-old Gejeian has kept his promise to the people who attend his car show: "When I started, I promised the public that they would only see cars that had never been seen before in Fresno"
Blackie Gejeian and his family are survivors of the Armenian Genocide and immigrated to the San Joaquin Valley in California. Blackie continues to farm his Grandparents land.
