Super Duty at any smaller auto shows?

[granitehauler]

Is it me, or are there NO photos of '08 Super Duty's coming out of Detriot's auto show? I thought for sure we would see a few. I know the show just started early this week, but come on. Is it considered old news since it was unveiled way back at the Texas fair? Maybe now it's time to circulate through the smaller shows?

So, my question is, Salt Lake has it's "Auto Expo" this weekend put on by Motor Trend. I'll be going tomorrow. It always ends up being a bunch of current production vehicles and nothing much new. Yawn. I noticed, however, that on the website it shows under "Pre Production Vehicles" the Ford F-250. I don't think they would list it separately if it was the '07. Do you think it might be there? I called the expo center and spoke to someone that probably wouldn't know a Super Duty from a Saturn, so no help there.

San Jose has the same expo going on right now, and it lists the same thing on their website. Anyone going to it? As you can tell, I'm a bit tired of all the same old photo's on the web and want something new! I know they are being produced....so, show them to us!!!

granitehauler,
Just got back from the San Jose show. Very disapointed. They had one 08 on a stage display. You could not go into the truck. It was a white crew cab King ranch. The same one I have seen on different post. I really wanted to check out a 450, very disappointed. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

The Indy show had one on the stage. I also had a sighting of one on Interstate 65 near Indy on 31 Dec 06. It must of been doing over 90 MPH.

granite,
Let us know if there is one down at the expo center. I have been considering getting down there, but it would be just to see the Super Duty if there was one. Not sure I need to see anything else.

Thanks.

Well, I just got back. They have a blue King Ranch there. It's up on a rotating stand, so you can't get into it. However, you can physically touch it as it rotates, so it is close enough that you can see some good details on the exterior. I'll get some pics up soon.

I think this one was a 4x2 because it sat REAL low and made the front end look HUGE! I think with the right lift and wheels/tires, it would look pretty good. I loved the interior. The doors were all open, so you could see the seats, dash, etc. I can't wait to drive one.

04HDF250, If you don't mind the crowds, it would be worth driving down just to see it. Also check out the trick rescue/fire truck F350 they have there.

I saw this one as well. Very low to the ground. But the Over all look is very nice. I will try and get some pictures up soon but with it on a turn table there not very good.
