Machiner 55 Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 Went here today. I urge all who can to go! Ends the 19th. So hurry. Parking is 16 bux.Tickets are...2006 Auto Show Prices Adult Tickets: $10 Seniors Tickets:You must be 62 years or older $5 Children ages 7-12: $5 Children Under 7 with paying Adult: FREE Saw alot of beautiful cars including the Pontiac Solstice,(the drivers seat is extremely comfortable. fit me perfectly. I'm 6'1" @195#)Saturn Sky,Ford Reflex, (concept scheduled for production 2008)Dodge Challenger,A sleek (if youcould ever imagine the word "sleek being used to discribe a Lincoln!) Lincoln MKS. My son referred to it as a :Hot Rod Lincoln".And, the cars that did not exibit any MSRPs, the Aston Martin line up. People could just not take their eyes off of them. (myself included) I could have made a small fortune selling drool cups to the people leaning over the railing for a closer look.I didn't take my 35mm to the show this year because I hate lugging it around. Then, while at the show I was kicking myself in the butt for having left it at home because I thought I could have posted them here but, then I realized that the photos just don't do the cars justice. The cars have to be viewed in person. I actually got goose bumps looking at some of these cars. Awesome!!! Pictures just don't get it.If you get a chance to go... GO!
Vincent Vega Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 I usually go. I took this year off. Last year it just seemed to be more of the same. I'm not into trucks, so a lot of the show bored me. Chrysler does seem to have some pretty cool concept cars. The Challenger is very cool. I saw pics of the Charger Daytona/Superbird. Yuk. Looks like a truck from the front. To put the Daytona or Superbird livery on a four door, well, that's just wrong. I'm glad you had a good time. I do plan on going next year. I figure a year away may make it more interesting for me. Oh, and the Camaro concept car? A swing and a miss for GM. Mustang killer? Not with that styling.
Barney Eaton Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 We went to the Houston show two weeks back and they had the same cars. Our local show is a joke so we drive three hours to Houston to see a decent one.I was disappointed with the Buick display at Houston, big area with about 8 carsChicago show is much bigger.
Guest Ragtop Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 Went to the auto show with my daughter on Valentine day, bought my tickets on line ahead of time so I wouldn't have to stand in line. Find out afterward it was ladies day, women 1/2 price then one of my suppliers offers me a free admission ticket. Oh well! Thought the Chrysler Imperial was a little over the top. I drooled over the Challenger, they got to make that car. Disappointed in the Camaro. That's all I really go for, the concept cars.
