Mark your calendar. The Seattle International Auto Show, one of the nation’s most prestigious five-day auto shows, comes to the Seahawks Exhibition Center, November 5-9. The event, sponsored by Chevron Lubricants, is the Northwest’s largest annual showcase of new cars, trucks, SUVs and minivans from virtually every major automaker.

Among the all-new 2004 model year vehicles already confirmed: Toyota’s redesigned Prius hybrid, Nissan’s Titan full-size truck and Chrysler’s Pacifica cross-over. Along with exotics and one-of-a-kind concepts will the The Arbet, listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the World’s Smallest Car. Plus a display of rare and valuable Ford Mustangs will celebrate the pony car’s 40th anniversary.

“The Auto Show is a once-a-year opportunity for consumers to see and compare every new vehicle on the market,” says Auto Show Director Jim Hammond. “What’s new, what’s hot and what’s next in autos – that’s what the auto show is all about.”
