For car enthusiasts, motor shows are a great hang out to see the latest and the coolest in automotive technology. Those who are looking for the perfect car to buy believe that motor shows are the perfect place to go look for ideas. It is more convenient than going to one dealership after another dealership just to look for the kind of car that will suit their needs as convenient as fitting a BMW Cold Air Intake system on your BMW to boost performance.
AutoTrader.com has sponsored yet another motor show to fill the need of the motoring public, as well as giving car manufacturers a venue to show off their goods. Opening on the 24th of this month is the 2007 Cleveland Auto Show.
The said event will be held at the I-X Center in Cleveland, Ohio. The show will run until the 4th of March. The organizers urge the public to come and see more than a thousand vehicles on display. These cars include concept cars, upgraded cars, as well as totally new vehicles. Free parking spaces are offered by the organizers to entice the public to visit and enjoy the motor show. The organizers announced that among the cars that will be on display are concept cars such as the Ford Interceptor, Chevrolet Camaro Convertible, Pontiac G8, and the Jeep Trailhawk among others. Production vehicles will also be showcased at the event.
Aside from enjoying the wide variety of cars on display at the motor show, attendees will also have the chance to ride on some of the vehicles being shown at the event. One of the attractions of the 2007 Cleveland Auto Show is the 40,000 ft2 off road driving course built inside the center for Jeep. Another track built inside the show is the Cleveland Dodge Dealer’s Test Track which will feature a Dodge Charger, a Magnum SRT8 and a Nitro RT. The track is aimed to show the driving capability of Dodge’s vehicles. Outside, a track is also built for the Cleveland Chrysler Experience which allows show goers to take a ride on a driving course which will showcase the ability of Chrysler cars.
Up for grabs at the said even is a brand new 2007 Saturn Sky Roadster. Aside from that awesome vehicle, $20,000 worth of gasoline will be given away. AutoTrader.com will also hold a $25,000 Sweepstakes. All these are what the organizers of the show hopes to entice the public to visit the event.
Aside from having the chance to see the most advanced vehicle on the planet today, attendees will also have the chance to meet sports celebrities who will be present at some of the car maker’s display area. On February 26, Cleveland Cavaliers’ Drew Gooden, Larry Hughes, Anderson Varejao and Shannon brown will be present at GMC’s display area. On February 27, dubbed the NASCAR Night, attendees will have the chance to meet Elliot Sadler in the Dodge display; Matt Kenseth and Todd Kluever in the Ford display; and Mike Skinner in the Toyota display. These sportsmen will be on hand to sign autographs to those present during the show.
On Wednesday, Medical Mutual of Ohio will sponsor a Family Day. During this day, children 25 years old or younger will not be charged for the entrance fee. A Disney family cruise package will also be up for grabs on this day. Also making an appearance on the show during the Family Day are Slider and Moondog, mascots for the Indians and the Cavs respectively. They will be in charge of the entertainment of those who will be present during the 5th day of the nine-day motor show.
