Cars on Campus: Northwood University International Auto Show

Paris isn't the only auto show in early October. The students of Northwood University are preparing for their 43rd annual International Auto Show to take place at the Midland Michigan campus October 6-8.

The college show is one of the largest outdoor shows in the US and entrance is free of charge and open to the public. The entire event is planned and executed by over 600 students led by a 13-member team and attracts approximately 40000 visitors each year. And it's not just the Big Three exhibiting their standard models either. This year participating manufacturers include Ferrari Maserati Lamborghini Bentley and Maybach to name just a few.

A grassroots car show in the quad is a welcome and refreshing break from the glitz and glamour of the "major" shows. Makes us wish our colleges had car shows instead of poster sales and intramural lacrosse games.

Follow the link to the university's website for more information. We're sure anyone who has attended the NUIAS has good things to say about the students' efforts.

(Thanks for the tip Ben!)
