Alabama Auto Show, Birmingham

Alfa Romeo. Maserati. Toyota. Mercedes. Chevrolet. Ford. The top manufacturers gather at the Alabama Auto Show each year to display their newest models, which share the space with more than 400 vehicles from manufacturers all over the world. The vehicles range from SUVs to hybrid cars and they spread out across two levels of the Birmingham Jefferson Convention Complex.

Visitors can test drive new cars during Ride & Drive experiences or take to the virtual streets in one of the video-game trucks. They can also challenge themselves on the auto show's rock-climbing wall.

Each year, proceeds from the event go to charity, including children's charities.
