St. Louis Auto Show....???? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**1971Stepside** · 01-13-2003, 06:11 PM

I remember as a teenager there always being a big car/truck show at the convention center in downtown. Does this still take place? I couldn't find anything on the web. Would be great to hit an indoor show while it is so cold out!!

If not St. Louis, does KC have one in the winter months??

I kept searching and found it in a round about way....if anyone is interested.

I will most likely be going....anyone else??

well I think I can manage to go to that. I've been hearing alot about it in the past and everybody seems to enjoy it. That might be a good time to get everybody in St.Louis area to get together what do you think? Well let me know as it gets closer as I tend to forget. Jim

World of Wheels is in Des Moines this weekend, I'll let ya know how it was

My truck got invited to that two years ago. Once you get it inside, its there to stay for the intire show. I would have had to stay downtown and I'm not crazy about that.

Is it a pretty good show though Randy? I am going to St. Louis for the boat show in Feb, Supercross in March, and possibly this show if it is worth the trip....my financial and entertainment manager may get mad at me! : )

Look forward to the report chevy2racr

last year there was only 1 67-72, but it was a Very Nice one. lots of neat cars though, from restored to factory to al custom. and unfortunately they had a rice burner corner too, that was the only down fall

I'm not too worried about there being a bunch of 67-72's there. I wanted to get some ideas and often I see those on street rods and such. Thanks for the info
