The Houston Auto Show is an annual auto show that takes place in January at NRG Park. The show attracts most of the biggest automobile manufacturers.

History

The first Houston Auto Show took place in the Sam Houston Coliseum in the 1950's. The venue was moved in 1984 to the Astrohall, and has been held each year since then.[1]

In 2002, the show moved from what was then known as Reliant Hall to its current venue, the Reliant Center after the former facility was demolished. The show regularly attracts over 450,000 visitors.

Production car introductions

World debuts for the Houston Auto Show include The 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee in 2012, and the 2007 Ford Expedition in 2006.[2][3]
