Seattle Auto Show Official Guide
S
tatistics tell us we’re
more likely to buy a
practical, fun and/
or economical vehicle than
a Rolls or a Jag. Thankfully,
many of today’s cars offer
amenities that were the sole
domain of luxury cars just a
few years ago.
Still, it’s nice to dream.
There’s no better place for
dreaming than the Seattle
Auto Show, where luxury
and high-performance cars
will pack every corner of
CenturyLink Field Event
Center. You’ll find the
extreme and extravagant, the
sporty and speedy — each
with the latest technology,
safety features and creature
comforts.
Where to start? On the
ground floor, you’ll find
offerings from Ferrari, Mase-
rati, Cadillac, Lincoln, BMW,
Volvo, Audi, Acura, Infiniti,
Lexus and Hyundai. On the
concourse level, Luxury Row
will get your heart pumping
for Jaguar, Bentley, Rolls-
Royce, Lamborghini, Mer-
cedes-Benz, Porsche, Infiniti,
Fisker, Lotus and Aston
Martin. Also on the con-
course: the show-stopping
Bugatti Veyron and McLaren
MP4-12C.
Luxury cars the stuff of Auto Show dreams
The Puget Sound area’s own Har-
old and Nancy LeMay once amassed
the largest privately owned collec-
tion of automobiles, motorcycles,
trucks and specialty vehicles in the
world. In June, LeMay — America’s
Car Museum opened in Tacoma and
has quickly become a world-class
destination for car lovers around the
globe.
Over the years, the LeMay col-
lection has been listed in Guinness
World Records and once housed
more than 3,000 vehicles and
memorabilia. America’s Car Museum
showcases the best of the best from
that collection.
Auto Show visitors will see a sam-
pling of these treasures, including the
iconic 1963 Chevrolet Corvette (left).
Be sure to put America’s Car
Museum on your car-lover bucket
list. Visit lemaymuseum.org for more
