                             sizzling summer. This year’s show was a great success, providing visitors with a fantastic array of the auto industry’s
                             latest and greatest vehicles, as well as a glimpse into the creativity of the past. Without the help of Atlanta’s media
                                 partners, many who visited may not have made it out at all, so it’s important for us to give them a shout out
                                  for a job well done.
