When it comes to family entertainment that provides a number of attractions for relatively little money, the auto or car show is big favorite. Car shows have been around for decades and usually promote the latest automobiles as well as classic cars and trucks. However, they do provide more than just looking at vehicles as even family members who have little interest in autos can find fun things to do at the show.

Auto – Car Clubs in St. Louis

St. Louis CoachmenCoachmen Car Club of St Louis  The Coachmen Car Club is a social organization. Because we have monthly breakfast meetings during the off season, and often meet at restaurants before car shows, some might think we are an Eating Club that likes Cars. Rest assured that most of us are just as devoted to our classics and hot rods as we are to our bacon and eggs.

A St. Louis car show may be held indoors in large convention halls or outdoors at the racetrack or even in parks. They most often occur in the late spring and summer months when you can get outside and enjoy the fresh air which is perfect for families.

Latest Technology: Car shows are showcases for the latest in technology in terms of what is now available on vehicles. The larger car shows have new or even prototype vehicles from manufacturers that demonstrate new technology that fascinates the young and the young at heart. In recent years, driverless vehicles have become all the rage at St. Louis auto shows thanks to their futuristic appearance and ability to go to many places without being driven.

Of course, there are other new technical advances on display that will certainly interest car buffs, but may also spark the interest of family and friends who may have only a passing interest in vehicles.

History: There is something about classic cars, particularly those from the 1950s and 1960s that evokes interest in all people. Quite often, the cars themselves will have their owners, friends, or family dressed in the same time period which brings about even further interest. In addition, you can learn something about the history of the country based on the type of vehicles that people drove back then. Classic cars provide a window to the past, a personal window that shows what parents and grandparents drove during that particular era.

Performance: Auto shows that are set at or near a racing track will doubtless have performances of certain vehicles where you get to see them go at top speed. Quite often, there are parades of vehicles and even timed races around the area where cars of different eras showcase their capabilities on the open road. In addition to the performances, they are often tied to different events that include more than just the vehicles.

Special Events: Those who run auto shows understand that not everyone will be interested in the latest vehicle or classic car. That’s why you often have additional events such as live music performances which are quite popular and provide many hours of entertainment. In addition, there are many different types of events that are scheduled on the grounds where the auto show takes place so you can pick and choose the ones you want to attend.

Perhaps the best reason to take your family to the auto show is that it provides safe, family fun all for a low admission price. Compared to attending an amusement park or concert, an auto show is often a fraction of the cost and provides the best in family entertainment.
