In his announcement of the upcoming Show dates, John LaSorsa, Chair of the Auto Show Committee, said: "New York is the nation's largest metropolitan area and the financial, media and advertising center of the world. If an automotive product is a hit in New York, you can be sure the rest of the nation is going to hear about it. For this reason, the New York International Auto Show is one of the manufacturers' largest marketing events of the year. "In addition, our Show is a great forum for addressing serious issues facing the millions of consumers," continued LaSorsa. "For example, last year's exhibits and conferences on 'People With Disabilities' brought a great deal of attention to a growing segment of the car buying population." The 1998 New York International Auto Show will be an impressive collection of cutting-edge design and remarkable innovation. More than four floors of exhibitors, including 36 vehicle manufacturers, are expected to feature their new automobiles and futuristic concept cars. More than 1,000 cars and trucks will be on display, filling 750,000 square feet of exhibit space. In addition, over a dozen World, National, and Regional vehicle debuts are expected at the 1998 Show. Attendance at the 1997 New York International Automobile Show surpassed 1.1 million, the 9th consecutive year the Show has had more then one million visitors. In addition, over 3,200 members of the media attended the Show. Expectations are for increased press and public attendance in 1998. SOURCE New York Auto Show
