A Thousand Vehicles on Display during 110th Annual Show
The LA Auto Show has arrived with several new attractions and activations across the Los Angeles Convention Center’s indoor and outdoor areas. Families can enjoy simulators, test drives, one-of-a-kind rides and of course, some of the newest and coolest vehicles and mobility innovations.
Among the displays taking place during the LA Auto Show, there are a variety of options for families with children, including the Xbox Gaming Lounge, where people can play Forza Motorsport 7 while competing for the chance to win several prizes, and the MINNIE VAN presented by Honda Odyssey. The MINNIE VAN is a one-of-a-kind display vehicle, inspired by Minnie Mouse, that debuted this past July at Disney’s fan event D23 Expo. Guests of the show will also be able to experience the Ford GT as part of the Microsoft HoloLens Mixed Reality presented by the Petersen Automotive Museum.
“Alongside seeing the newest and coolest cars revealed, the LA Auto Show continues to be a favorite among car fans, families and everyone in between,” said LA Auto Show and AutoMobility LA President and CEO, Lisa Kaz. “This year, the LA Auto Show will bring a variety of one-of-a-kind interactive experiences and activities for guests. So, whether you are a gamer, gearhead, techie, sports fan, or just along for the ride, there’s something here for everyone.”
Daniel Nelson’s 1952 Henry J Drag Car will be on display at the LA Auto show through December 10, 2017.
