Cleveland Auto Show, Part II
Welcome to Part II of the Stylin' Trucks show review for the Cleveland Auto Show. If you haven't seen it already, make sure you check out Cleveland Auto Show, Part I where we talk about the show and some of the special events that were there.
Here in Part II, we'll take a look at some of the individual manufacturer areas. (Click any pictures to enlarge.)
The Dodge Exhibit
Dodge had a very large area at the Cleveland Auto Show. Almost one whole side of the I-X Center was dedicated to their product line. Huge truck displays looked down upon you, while the engine roar and tire chirps from the test drive area leaked into your brain. It was a very impressive setup, very dark and industrial. Kind of like the Ram truck line, rugged and strong, with a good following.
One truck on display was this stunning red Dodge Dakota. It featured a factory chrome grille. |
Dodge's displays were large and industrial-looking. This Dodge Ram 2500 is no different. |

The Chevrolet Exhibit
The folks over at Chevrolet had a very nice exhibit set up. There were many new trucks and SUVs on the floor, as well as some of the company's more interesting concepts. The Chevy Camaro was there, the new plug-in vehicle, the Volt, was in attendance, and a nice green Street Concept Edition Silverado.

The Ford Exhibit
Ford had a really, really nice display at the Cleveland Auto Show. There was a small stage set up for auditions for Cleveland Idol, large TV screens with recent Ford commercial playing, and a great concept on display, the Ford Airstream. There were also some great trucks on display, the Ranger, a great silver Super Duty, and various other new vehicles.

All in all, it was a great show. If you’re in the Cleveland area and want to check out an awesome vehicle show, I recommend the Cleveland Auto Show. And if you are elsewhere in the country, then get to Cleveland next February, or find the closest new vehicle show you can, ‘cause it’s worth it!
