The Pittsburgh International Auto Show is an annual event held at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in the heart of Pittsburgh, PA. The Auto Show is a great, family friendly environment that brings auto enthusiasts together to check out a wide variety of new vehicles from manufacturers in a non-selling environment. Auto manufactures will be displaying the latest in safety features that will keep tabs on drivers distracted by other digital gadgets. You can take a seat in a sporty convertible, calculate the cargo space of a new SUV, and admire the rugged off-road features of a heavy duty pick-up truck and so much more!
