Auto Show: Interesting Facts
-
Fourteen
semi-trailers are used to carry more than 75,000 yards of carpet for
exhibits and aisles at the auto show. It all the carpet was made 2
feet in width, it would be 66 miles long. If an average house has
125 yards, all the carpet at the auto show would be enough for 600
homes.
-
Exhibits,
lighting and sound equipment take enough electricity to power a subdivision
with 360 homes for 6 months.
-
During the
preparations, over 1,500 carpenters, stagehands, electricians, Teamsters
and ironworkers work full time for 12-14 hour shifts some double that
until the job is complete.
- The total value of the exhibits
is over $200 million not counting the 700 automobiles that will be on
display. This year, there are more than 20 two-level exhibits at the
auto show.
- Two-level exhibits add 106,000
more sq. feet to Cobo
Center. The main floor has 750,000 sq. feet which adds up to 860,000
sq. feet of space for the auto show.
- Since the Charity Preview
started back in 1976, over $32 million has been riased for children's
charities in Detroit. Last year, $6.125 million was raised during the
Charity Preview.
- The auto show was held in
other locations besides Cobo including the Michigan StateFairgrounds
and the Detroit Artillery Armory. It finally moved to its current home,
Cobo Center in 1965.
