The early 1900’s exhibit will feature four rarely seen automobiles, and several exotic cars will be on display to show off some of the sportier autos.
“This should be an exciting year for auto enthusiasts given the variety of automobiles we will have on display,” Peter Hodges, President of the Metropolitan Auto Dealers Association said. “Although we know the Futureliner #10 is our most unique feature, we believe all of the exhibits will appeal to everyone who comes to this year’s show.”
