Auto shows are one of the more interesting things to do on a nice summer day. They can be found all over, some are outside in parking lots, shopping malls lots, or local parks but at the mercy to the weather and some are inside air conditioned environments like community centers or local businesses. Auto Shows are growing in popularity and numbers. Most auto shows are annual events held once or twice a year in the northern states and mid-west because they are limited to the five warm summer months. In the southern or western states they can have auto shows year round or again in air conditioned venues. I was totally impressed by the condition of the cars and trucks I saw in California and Nevada. The weather there is just perfect for preserving classic cars. Auto shows are a great way to get out an enjoy the summer weather looking at classic cars and trucks. Some owners of these cars have spent considerable time and money restoring and maintaining the cars, it's a labor of love for most that truly love the vehicle and it's great someone does. Have you been to a junk yard lately? That's where they would end up if not loved and maintained. They are regularly attended by automotive industry representatives, dealers, auto journalists as well as car enthusiasts. The current auto show, also known as a motor show or car show, is a public exhibition of current automobile models, older classic cars, debuts, concept cars, or out-of-production classics. Most auto shows occur once or twice a year and we would be happy to list any auto shows you suggest. Just click here to send us your recommendations for an auto show listing.
Please call before attending any community events to make sure they aren’t postponed or canceled as a result of the coronavirus.
