rheller Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Just purchased our tickets for the New England Auto Show, to be held at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center. My wife and I will be attending on Saturday, 6 December. Should any other GT500 owners be present, I would be pleased to meet you and briefly talk some shop. Look for the fellow sporting the black Shelby GT500 ball cap <grin>. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ff500 Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 I've set many of these auto shows up as the Electrical contractor and the last 6 of them at the Bayside Expo Center when it was there, it was considered a class d show at the Bayside they hope to build up to a class b show at the BCEC, the Detroit auto show is considered a class a show. I doubt I'll go but I am curious as to what the exhibits will look like with all the manufacturers struggling, I can tell you from experience that gmc would spend close to a million at the Bayside for there floor space and exhibits.

rheller Posted November 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 I regularly attended the San Francisco auto shows, and the exotics such as Ferrari always made a presence. Not so in D.C. For whatever reason, the highest end car there was the BMW. Perhaps the markets were simply different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craigo Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 when I go I bring my vapor 08 gt500. You? I've never brought my GT-500, I have a Cobra kit that I run up there with either my son or daughter. I'm getting my gt500 Super Snaked this winter ( I hope ) and will have that there next year!! I've seen your car, I think, but I don't think I've met you. I've only talked with a man that has a blue Shelby GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rheller Posted November 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Ok, we picked up our train tickets today, and should arrive at the show sometime between 11:30 AM and noon on Saturday, 6th December. I envision us being there for somewhere between 3 1/2 and 4 hours before we have to head back to the station. Wife and I are particularly interested in seeing the unveiling of the new pony cars. I anticipate the body shell changes on the Mustang to be only minor, but we shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shack Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 I'm going to try and make it down from NH. Usually end up going, but not positive as of yet. It would be good to meet people - only seen about 2 or 3 others on the other side of the highway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ff500 Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 I heard today that two big auto manufacturers backed out of this show, I don't know who they are though I will see if I can find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rheller Posted November 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 OK, so what's the scoop? I hear a rumor that two big car makers have already pulled out of this event. I have a set of auto show tickets and train tickets. It's not as if I can easily back out of this. Am I disappointed? You bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ff500 Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Suzuki was one not sure of the other, also GM which was scheduled to have 39 trucks of freight has downsized to 9 freight trucks, so the displays will be a lot smaller but at least the cars will still be there.
