Detroit show closes; attendance down
By Michelle Krebs January 22, 2007
The 2007 North American International Auto Show is now history. The Detroit show closed last night (Jan. 21).
Show organizers reported public attendance was down for the fourth consecutive year. Total public attendance came to 705,226 people. The 2006 show drew 759,310 visitors. In 2003, the show broke records with 838,000 people.
The dealers who sponsor the show blamed an ice storm along with the state's sagging economy for the lower attendance.
