The Portland International Auto Show (PIAS) is an annual auto show at the Oregon Convention CenterinPortland in the U.S. state of Oregon. Started in 1910, the four-day event is held in January or February and draws approximately 100,000 visitors.[1][2]

History[edit]

Portland automotive show began in 1910.[3] The show in 2010 was affected by a poor economy, with several manufacturers not participating.[4] PIAS's 2011 show featured more than 1,200 cars from a total of 35 brands.[5] In 2012, Chrysler debuted their Camp Jeep ride and drive program at the Portland show, and an exhibit entitled the ECO Center, featuring more environmentally friendly vehicles.[6][7][8] Also that year, a Lamborghini Gallardo caught on fire when an employee attempted to burn off fuel by running it in neutral.[9] The 2012 show had an estimated 100,000 visitors over four-days.[2]
