The New York International Auto Show is an annual auto show held in late March or early April. It is usually held at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.

Every year the show opens with a sensational display to excite the public and promote the show. Past opening ceremonies have included a stickball game, a man pulling several cars by himself, and speeches.

This auto show includes exhibits from various auto manufacturers and related companies. Many of the exhibits are hands-on, giving the public the opportunity to try sitting in the new vehicles and to explore new technology and features. [1]

The 2008 New York International Automobile Show will feature the hottest new concepts in automobile technology, along with sneak peeks at the latest vehicles from more than 43 manufacturers. [2]
