It happens every two years, and, this year, the show's timing ensures that the dealers will have 2015 models on display - and for sale, of course - from Friday to Sunday. On the inside, the ground floor will be occupied by cars and SUVs only, with a number of exhibitors - most related to the automotive industry but a few surprises in store - taking up the arena's upper level. On the outside, commercial vehicles and motorcycles will have their own wide space, which persons attending the show can have a look at before even entering the arena. Here are some key facts about the ADA Motor Show 2014: The entry fee is $700 for adults and $200 for children. There will be a giveaway of a 2015 Honda CBF-150 Invicta motorcycle to someone who attends the show. It is normally sold for $310,000.
