Honda unveils its FC Sport fuel cell concept car as the Los Angeles
Auto Show opens for press previews at the Los Angeles Convention
Center on November 18, 2008 in Los Angeles, California. Against a
backdrop of economic upheaval, General Motors Corp. and Chrysler
LLC will be virtual no-shows with no senior executives in attendance
nor holding any press conferences as they concentrate on lobbying
for federal bailouts. Ford Motor Co. will be the only big American
auto maker to have a significant presence at the annual event and
compete with participating foreign car makers. The first major
North American auto show of the season opens to the public on
November 21 and continues through November 30.
