St Louis Auto Show 2008

New car time again! This year the largest automobile event in the St. Louis area featured more than 600 new cars, trucks, SUVs & concept vehicles from over 30 manufacturers. Unfortunately the new production version of the Dodge Challenger was formerly launched at the Chicago show a week after St Louis & so wasn't on display, but there were some new & concept vehicles at the show including the 2009 Dodge Ram Pickup, Chrysler Nassau Concept, 2008 Pontiac G8, 2009 Ford Flex, & my favorite, the Chevrolet Camaro Concept. The latter vehicle looked absolutely stunning & is Chevrolet's answer to the Ford Mustang & Dodge Charger. Not to be outdone, Ford brought along some of their limited edition Mustangs, including the 'Bullit' & Shelby GT500KR (which is a 540HP special-edition GT500 commemorating the 40th anniversary of the original 'King of the Road').
