The
Alabama International Auto Show runs today through Sunday at the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex.
The event will feature 2013 model year cars, trucks, SUVs and hybrid vehicles. More than 400 will be on display.
New features this year include a "Made in Alabama" area, with vehicles produced at state auto plants operated by Mercedes-Benz, Honda and Hyundai. Engines made at Huntsville's Toyota plant also will be a part of the display.
Nearly every manufacturer is represented with 2013 models, including some prototypes and hard-to-find models, said Jennifer Whisenant, executive director the Birmingham Automobile Dealers Association.
For example, the redesigned Toyota Avalon will be on display. Just a handful of the cars have been delivered to dealers in the Southeast so far, Whisenant said.
The show also is bringing back a ride-and-drive event, this year featuring the 2013 Honda Accord.
There also will be a Family Fun Zone and McWane Science Center activities.
The show opens today at noon and runs until 9 a.m. Friday and Saturday hours are 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sunday hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Admission is $8 for adults and $4 for children ages 6 to 11. Admission is free for children 5 and under.
