Dallas Auto Show
Located at the Dallas Convention Center, the annual Dallas Auto Show is an opportunity for car enthusiasts to see the latest designs and ideas from their favorite automobile manufacturers. The show provides both traders and the general public with access to a variety of vehicles and with the chance to meet the people behind the cars. As well as vehicle exhibits, there are also stands where consumers can buy models of their favorite cars, automobile accessories and even environmentally friendly products. The eco-friendly vendors are a new addition to the show and have been added as the Dallas Auto Show organizers look at ways they can offset their carbon footprint and help the environment. The convention runs for four days in April each year and has an average of 30 car manufacturers exhibiting.
