AutoEvent: LA Auto Show 2008

Being held since the year 1907, the LA Auto show has been the center of attraction for the whole of auto industry including auto part suppliers. With the show being only the second International Auto Show in the US to be officially recognized by the Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles, there's the anticipation that it would feature some truly pulsating exhibits.

The international automobile exhibition is an annual event held at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, California. Back in 1907, the first show was held at the at Morley's Skating Rink in downtown Los Angeles, just a few blocks away from the present venue. Historically held during early January, it now takes place in November, after it celebrated its 100 years of success in 2006.

The LA Auto Show usually conjures up images of scintillating concept cars and world debuts of many autos. However, there's a lot more for the aftermarket part suppliers and buyers as well. The show is just the right place for you to find and buy most automotive parts which are associated with trucks, vans and SUVs.

Here's a glimpse of what to expect, for those interested in aftermarket supplies.

Wheels, Tires & Suspension: Wheels are an important automotive part that not only enhance the look of the vehicles but ensure a good fuel economy too. A lot of wheel components such as Automotive Wheels, Automotive Tubes, Linkage Parts, Radial Tires, Tires and Wheels Accessories, Tubeless Tires, etc. make it possible. In 2007, a couple of wheel manufacturers and suppliers who exhibited included Lorinser, Diablo, Center Line Wheels, and many more.

Automobile Accessories: Most Trucks, Vans & SUV owners can expect a wide array of automotive accessories to customize and style their autos as the wish. Accessories such as Automotive Body Polishes, Automobile Maintenance Supplies, Automotive Seats, Car Care Products and Tools, Audio Devices, Video Devices, Security Devices, etc. don't power an automobile but the surely enhance our comfort and safety in addition to making the vehicle appealing.

Other notable exhibits last year were from specialty vehicles and tuners & performance, electronics & technology, appearance, supplies for automobiles.

Most major automobile manufacturers display at the show. At present there seems to be a lot of buzz about Hyundai, which is reported to showcase a hybrid version of the Sonata sedan at the Los Angeles auto show. The featured product is supposed to comprise a rolling chassis, and it would be rolled out with a production version to the United States in 2010. So get ready for some big action in November this year.
