THE 12th Manila Auto Salon and 24th Sport Truck Show will run until December 2 at the SMX Convention Center by SM Mall of Asia in Pasay City. There will be over 200 show stopping vehicles for display and competition conceptualized and organized by the leading motoring events production company Tradeshow International, Inc., This event is by far the most comprehensive motor show for customized vehicles, performance cars, sport utility vehicles, 4x4s, off-roaders with a retail section for products and services. Both events occupy all four trade halls of the convention center, which is located on 9,000 square meters of “show vehicles” and automotive product treats perfect for Christmas shopping for the car lovers.
“The Manila Auto Salon and Sport Truck Show have now become iconic brands in the automotive industry specifically in the automotive aftermarket and off-road fields. This is that time of the year when car show enthusiasts brave our ‘traffic-congested’ roads just to see the project vehicles prepared by automotive influencers and will be exhibited for four days at the SMX Convention Center. I hope to use these shows as major tools in supporting advocacies related to restoration excellence, responsible modifications among others,” said Sophie delos Santos, president of Tradeshow International, Inc.
