VIP tours with auto experts to be offered again at Auto Show
Back by popular demand The Washington Auto Show will again offer VIP tours of the various new car exhibits at the upcoming 2015 exposition. The Auto Show happens Jan. 23 Feb. 1 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center.
Two auto experts and longtime industry observers will be the tour guides: John Davis, the Emmy-Award winning producer and creator of the PBS show MotorWeek, and Les Jackson, auto journalist and new vehicle evaluator who reviews 100s of new vehicles a year. Tours will be given on both weekends of the show. Both men are motor vehicle experts who are fully up to speed on the latest innovations in advanced technology.
As host of MotorWeek, now in its 34th season, Davis has the opportunity to put all of the new car models through extensive road tests and to judge their practicality for buyers. He also acts as final editor on all of the new car road test segments and writes many of the test opinions as well as other portions of the program. Davis and MotorWeek have worked in recent years with the U.S. Department of Energy to promote public awareness of alternative fuels.
Jackson is intimately familiar with the operation and engineering specifications of the wide array of vehicles available in the U.S. His new vehicle reviews and technical how-to articles have appeared in prominent publications for more than 25 years. Jackson is co-host and technical expert on Cruise Control, a nationally syndicated radio program devoted to all aspects of the automotive world. He has personally restored 16 classic cars and has authored hundreds of how-to articles on automobile restoration. He is also past president of the Washington Automotive Press Association and a member of the International Motor Press Association.
Award-winning syndicated automotive writer Warren Brown will host the Ask the Expert booth during both weekends of the show from 11 a.m. to noon and 1 to 2 p.m.
