Manufacturers of high end cars often shun exhibiting at auto shows, whether it is because of the cost or a perceived shortage of potential buyers, either way it’s a shame for visitors. Even this year’s LA Auto Show, for example, lacked displays from Ferrari and Lamborghini. This despite LA being a hot bed for buyers of exotic cars.
In 2007 the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) organizers solved this problem. Together with MGM Grand Detroit they organized a one-day event a few days before the main show opened that featured ultra-luxury and performance vehicles. This year The Gallery, as it is named, will be held at the MGM Grand Detroit on Sunday, January 8, 2012.
The Gallery will feature vehicles from Aston Martin, Bentley, Corvette, Falcon, Ferrari, Jaguar, Lamborghini, Lexus, Lincoln, Lingenfelter, Maserati, Morgan, Porsche, Range Rover and Rolls-Royce. Many of the vehicles on display at The Gallery will not be shown at the NAIAS. For example, according to the organizers, the Aston Martin One-77, Lamborghini Aventador, Rolls Royce Ghost and Jaguar XKR-S will be on display exclusively at The Gallery.
In the past this has been an invitation only event. However, in addition to the invitees, there is a limited opportunity for another 100 people to attend this year. But it’ll cost you $500 for each ticket and it must be purchased no later than Friday, January 6th from the Fulkerson Group, (248) -593-9740.
Fortunately you will get to do more than just check out some fine cars as Wolfgang Puck will prepare a special dinner for invited guests. Comcast Business Class is Presenting Sponsor of The Gallery and other sponsors include Tapper’s Diamonds & Fine Jewelry, Neiman Marcus, Blue Nectar and Grey Goose.
