STEP BACK IN TIME
In an effort to generate more excitement, energy, and fun, the 2010 Greater Kansas City International Auto Show will reach back to a simpler time when cars developed muscles, cars were special, cars were central to who we were. A time when America was changing in fashion, politics, and music. The Auto Show is going retro, back to the 60s!

There will be a central area on the floor that will specialize in the 60s era with a collection of more 60s vehicles, fashion trends, artwork, lifestyle pieces and more. Regardless of your age, everyone will enjoy this rich period of our social culture.
