2016 Tampa Bay International Auto Show Recap

Of all the auto shows we attend each year, we save the most exclusive cars for our home base. The Tampa International Auto Show is produced by Motor Trend and it is a grand finale for their 2016 season. Just across the bay from our headquarter in St. Petersburg, it allows us to pull out all the stops for our local fans.

Realizing the potential of our social media presence, we were given a prominent position directly behind the main entrance. To make sure we made an impression on the public, our matte gray metallic Audi R8 Spyder was placed at the base of the escalators. Next in was a two-tone matte and glossy Rolls-Royce Wraith, which was a challenge to maneuver between the food court and automobilia vendors.

Lamborghini Sarasota gave us their flagship Aventador Roadster. The navy blue Italian has an interior of beige, which made a nice contrast against the convention center carpet. A new G63 AMG was provided by Mercedes-Benz of Tampa. As one of the biggest AMG dealers in the US, it was ordered with designo interior and all optional content. Saving the best for last, we delivered an Aston-Martin One-77 from HQ in our transport trailer. We move all types of classic and collectible cars, so we figured it would be close in size to other Astons, but the One-77 is wider than almost any of its competitors. Not taking any chances we used every strap and tie-down in the inventory to ensure the safety of this priceless supercar. With aggressive cam timing and throaty exhaust, this masterpiece grabs everyone’s attention.

The Tampa Show is a great way for us to reach out to locals. We made new friends who will become regulars at Cars & Coffee. A big thanks to our local dealers and our fans who support us at these events. As we get ready for the 2017 season, we wish you all Happy Holidays from us at the duPont REGISTRY.
