Greetings From the 2008 Chicago Autoshow

100th Chicago Auto Show, originally uploaded by kendoman26.

It's that time of year, the autoshow is in town and the manufactures are showing off their latest production vehicles as well as concepts.

For the last few years the show has flowed between the newer north building as well as the 1971 vintage east building. GM, and it's associated brands are in the east building this year with, Ford, Chrysler, Toyota and many others in the north building.

They have made ticket purchasing easy by centrally locating it between buildings. Some quick observations of the show, 1) Despite the economic turndown, lots of people were looking at the vehicles - maybe just dreaming. 2) Not too many freebies on CD, Only Scion had a CD. 3) Lot's of iMac's being used to provide information.

I'll have more to blog over the next several days and more photos to post. I only spent 3 hours at the show but it was becoming too crowded for me. Perhaps I'll go back before it closes.
