The '''Greater Los Angeles Auto Show''' is an annual [[auto show]] that takes place at the [[Los Angeles Convention Center]] in  [[Los Angeles, California|Los Angeles]], [[California]].  The show has been held annually since [[1907]].  The first show took place at Morley's Skating Rink in downtown Los Angeles, just four blocks from the current Convention Center location.

The show traditionally took place in early January, but in [[2006]] was moved to November so as not to be overshadowed by the [[North American International Auto Show]].  That year, one show was held in January and another in November, the latter being dubbed a "2007" show.  The Los Angeles show is only the second International Auto Show in the United States to be officially recognized by the [[Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles]], with the first recognized show in November 2006.  With a special spot on the international calendar, it is likely that the LA show will become host to more vehicle introductions than before.

The 2007 Greater Los Angeles International Auto Show was held on [[November 29]]th through [[December 10]]th, 2006.  The [[Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles]] lists this show under their 2006 season.
