Philadelphia auto show pics

When we lived up there my wife & I went every year. It's one thing I still miss. The Corvette Club I was in was invited to a special breakfast and peep showing of the ZR1 when it first was introduced before the place opened. We'd always see the whole show and have a nice lunch at the brewery in the terminal. I know, it's not Detroit, New York or LA but it was always fun. Thanks for sharing.

I stopped going a few years ago. Philly never gets the hottest new cars. It's a second rate show at best. Darn shame.
That green chrome wrap is simply horrid IMHO.

We liked the Philly show. Went to NY last year and hit it on a Thursday morning - not too crowded, but afternoons and weekends - forget it!
Philly was a good crowd but not overwhelming and good food there - Jimmy's Cheese steaks. Mmmmmm

I'm originally from the Philly burbs.... and definitely miss the food. Both street food and all kinds of restaurants. Even dimsum in Chinatown and also the infamous Sang Kee Peking Duck House!
Nice pics from the show, thanks for sharing!

I was there on Wednesday too. The Reading Terminal and DiNic's Roast Pork with fried sweet peppers.
Here is one you missed that was in the Chevy Area.

Nice pics - the green one really will open your eyes with its brightness.

I got disillusioned when they didn't bring a Camaro after it was at other shows. I also recall not getting a C7 in 2013 after it was unveiled to the world. The Z06 is certainly cool but I like to see cars at the auto show before I see them on the street or in the showroom.
I saw the Stage 3 Z06 back in December up close and personal at my dealers so seeing it at the auto show would be anti climatic. I also despise crowds and it is always a zoo there when I can attend.
My son went today and said the green wrapped Stingray was one of the worst wraps he has seen. Like someone else mentioned, he was embarrassed for the company that brought it as others were trashing the wrap job.
Anyone know if they brought a Z28 this year? I asked my son to look but has not texted me back yet

I went to NY Auto show and saw the Stingray in 2013, didn't go to the Philly one.
Then last year at the Philly show I ran to the Chevy exhibit to see the new Z06, only to find it wasn't there.
I was happy to see finally see it this year as it was the first time I saw it in the flesh. I was underwhelmed and I told my friend "I don't know it doesn't look insane compared to the regular Stingray. For a street car a regular Stingray would do fine for me."
Some Chevrolet spokesperson heard me and said "Well it has 200 hp of difference!" in a snarky way. A response which clearly disregarded "for a street car" in my original comment.
I only saw a ZL1 there.
But here's some shots of a beautiful Z28 I saw at my local Chevy dealer. It's awesome in person.
