The North American International Auto Show is a site to be seen around the country, but in the Detroit area it is a chance for the millions of local auto workers that live here to see what they may be producing and take pride in their company's name. Every year in January, the Cobo Center hosts the Detroit version of the Auto show and every year well over a half million people make the trip to the venue to take in the glory. This is a show for everyone, even the little ones. This years event took place from January 19 thru January 27th. It was a week of beauty, style, and concept. If you are a people watcher there is something here for you. If you are a car aficionado this is your dream, and if you are just looking for your next vehicle this is the place to start. The world has changed a lot. Most people don't know the names of all the cars on the market. Two cars in a family is common. People are busy and don't want to take the time to shop for that perfect car. Families with kids want SUV's. Everyone wants energy efficiency. Instead of asking how much horse power, people are asking how many miles per gallon.

According to statistics, the average household income in 1970 was $8,734 and it rose to $16,461 in 1979. The unemployment rate was 3.5% in 1970 and up and down all decade landing at 8.5% in 1979. Heart disease was and still is the leading cause of death. Also, Aids and HIV was discovered in the seventies. There were many major medical break throughs in the 1970's. One of the most noted being the completion of the MRI scan in 1977. My mother recalls having medical insurance and being able to get a tooth pulled at the dentist for $15.00. http://www.free-press-release.com/news-the-woodshed-gallery-auctions-classic-antique-automobile-truck-motorcycle-advertisements-1441204799.html&rct=j&frm=1&q=&esrc=s LaBeouf was not to blame for the accident, which occurred when another driver allegedly ran a red light. A few hours after the crash, LaBeouf underwent a four-hour, early-morning surgical procedure on his left hand. A few weeks later -- against the advice of at least one doctor, LaBeouf says he returned to the Transformers set with a specially designed prosthetic bandage that had to be rewritten into the plot line. Additional surgery was postponed till after the film wrapped. But, yes, you do have to shell out some cash to be part of this whole event. There are several packages available. One would be the dinner and dance package which would cost you $60. With this one, you get to join those others with the same package have dinner at 7:30 p.m. at the museum's Willennar Hall. You would be able to enjoy dancing, dinner, the cash bar, and a champagne toast come midnight. My mother and father enjoyed much of their leisure time with drive in movies, watching TV shows such as MASH, All in the Family, Dukes of Hazard, and Andy Griffith. They enjoyed the music of Merle Haggard, Freddy Hart and Conway Twitty. Lastly, they enjoyed fast cars as well as many people did in the seventies. Drag racing was a fun event for both my mother and my father. In the seventies my father owned a 1972 Ford Galaxy 500, 1970 Road Runner, 1973 Ranchero, and a 1976 buy truck houston. The cost of a new vehicle was around $6000. Over all, the most rememberable event for my mother in the seventies was in 1977 when Elvis Presley died. He tipped his hat a bit, raising it off is forehead and when he did I noticed steel eyes. Eagle eyes that I imagined could spot a leaf hopper miles away. He screwed up his mouth, flicked the straw out the window and opening the door, said, Well, let's go. The end of the story is we were able to get the lawyer for Ford Motor Credit to accept a much lesser amount because he was trying to get a default judgment on his fees. That was illegal here in Florida, so with his hands in the cookie jar, he just wanted to get it over rather than have his name placed in front of the Florida Bar Assn. The site offers a variety of Ford truck headlights such as chrome, smoked, euro, halo, projector, and custom black headlights that can be used directly in F 150. They have lamps customized according to the model so they are easier to install.
