The National Automobile Dealers Association convention is the biggest automotive industry event of the year. It occurred this past weekend in New Orleans and was extremely interesting. According to a vendor, attendance registration has decreased from around 10,000, two years ago, to 3,500 this year. With attendance down, the overall atmosphere was completely different. The manufacturer booths were significantly smaller than in previous years. Everyone was trying to maintain cheer amidst all the bad news and it seemed like there was much focus on surviving. I managed to snag some shots of different vehicles, but there wasn't much new product on display.
I got this picture of a race inspired Toyota mobility van. It was a really cool ride. It had all the features necessary for accessible transportation, combined with great custom race inspired design.
And this Ford F-150 SVT Raptor. It'll be interesting to see what people think about this new design concept Ford is going with. You never know what people are going to love, or what's going to flop.
