The 2021 Los Angeles Auto Present will happen in November. After beforehand rescheduling the 2020 present for Might, organizers confirmed late Thursday that these plans have been scrapped, and the present will return to its common slot this fall, happening Nov. 17-18, Automotive Information mentioned late Thursday.
Since each auto present organizing physique within the nation appears allergic to the “C” phrase, we’ll use it for them: The 2020 Los Angeles Auto Present has lastly, formally, for-real been canceled. In different phrases, the 2021 Los Angeles Auto Present would be the solely Los Angeles Auto Present to be held in 2021.
Confused but? Welcome to the membership. Maintaining observe of the American auto present schedule was almost unimaginable in 2020, throughout which every main present after Chicago (held in February, simply previous to COVID gaining a robust foothold in the USA) was “postponed” no less than as soon as.
The brief model is that we count on the scheduling shenanigans to proceed till some semblance of normality could be restored, however should you’re the masochistic kind, here is the lengthy model. Strap in.
At this level, the remainder of the 2021 schedule stays firmly within the “TBD” column. The 2021 Chicago Auto Present, initially slated for early-mid February, has been postponed indefinitely. Even now, with hotter climate looming on the horizon, Chicago’s organizers are holding to a “Spring 2021” timeframe. Automotive Information final reported that something from March to Might remains to be on the desk. We’re skeptical, to say the least.
Subsequent up could be the New York Auto Worldwide Auto Present, which is usually held simply earlier than Easter. Organizers introduced in October that its 2021 present dates have been pushed again to Aug. 20-29, however now we have each cause to suspect these dates stay tentative.
Lastly, the Detroit Auto Present, which was held in January for greater than a decade, has successfully been merged this 12 months with the Motor Bella occasion, outside Sept. 21-26 at M1 Concourse in Pontiac, Mich. The general public days might be Sept. 23-26.
Of the schedule modifications, solely Detroit’s transfer to the autumn slot seems to be everlasting. Key phrase being “seems.” The 2020 North American Worldwide Auto Present was slated to be held in June 2020 for the primary time, shifting again from its earlier January slot. It now seems {that a} springtime Detroit Auto Present was merely not meant to be. What type it takes in fall 2022, we will see.
