Chicago Auto Show photo galleries
February isn't a month that I would call my favorite, but it does feature one of my favorite events - the Chicago Auto Show. Presented every year for over a hundred years, the show is currently hosted by the Chicago Automobile Trade Association. They know how to show.
The event varies a bit from year to year, mostly due to the changing of the industry and by what the builders and collectors bring in. New vehicles are shown by most of the automakers, from large to small. Missing are the very high end luxury models makers. You will find the Rolls, Lams, Maseratis, Aston Martins on display, but not a large display by the maker.
The last several years, the move to show off more economical vehicles has been prevalent. The number of large SUV's and trucks of every size have dwindled, as have the number of concept vehicles.
It's still the place to be during February for me.
Check out the photo's in the Chicago Auto Show photo gallery by Alan Look Photography. If you don't see enough, go to his archive to see over 300 more. Just use the search bar embedded in the gallery page and look for 2013 Chicago Auto Show!
As always, there will be coverage in the Normalite and Best Look Magazine.

Chicago Auto Show
It's been a while since I posted. I hope to be a little more consistent, but you know what they say about the best laid plans...
Last week the Chicago Automobile Trade Associations 2012 Chicago Auto Show began at McCormick Place in Chicago. I'm lucky enough to get in on Media Day and get some great pictures. Over the years several of my images from the show have been used in weekly, monthly publications and several books.
One of the initial items that drew me to the Chicago Auto Show several years ago were the concept cars. I think everyone has a couple that they really like. I'm no exception. The climate at the show seems to be changing. The number of manufactures showing concepts seems to be shrinking. In the heyday 10 years ago, I remember one manufacture having multiple concept cars on display in any one show. I think the total number of concepts by all manufactures combined this year lists out at around 8 on the Chicago Auto Shows website.
Lexus was probably the most noticeable display this year with the turntable showing of its concept the LF-LC, frontlined by a row of LF-A customs. I was also impressed by Mercedes-Benz display, the Ford Shelby cobra GT500 and the Chevrolet concept. Blatantly missing were displays by Maybach and Rolls Royce / Bentley. Really kind of missed seeing the high end autos.
