Auto shows serve many purposes. They provide automakers with a place to share their latest models with the press and the public. They allow aftermarket vendors to promote goods and services. And they give visitors a chance to research -- or maybe just dream about -- their next new car. Part trade show, part show business, the auto show is an institution nearly as old as the automobile itself.
