Shell Named Official Petroleum Products and C-Store Sponsor of
the 2005 Chicago Auto Show
- Shell Customers Benefit From Specially Priced Tickets -
CHICAGO, Feb. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- 1.2 million square feet. Nearly 1,000
different vehicles. The largest Auto Show in North America. Shell Oil
Products US announced today that it will be in the middle of the excitement at
the 2005 Chicago Auto Show as the "Official Petroleum Products and C-Store"
sponsor. Also, Shell will again sponsor the highly successful "First Look for
Charity" preview party and the Shell Exotic Car exhibit, which is one of the
most anticipated and visited displays at the auto show.
Shell is perfectly positioned for such a high-profile position at the Chicago
Auto Show because last year, it rolled out its most advanced fuel ever, Shell
V-Power(R), which is now the number-one selling premium unleaded gasoline in
the US. Additionally, all grades of Shell gasoline have been certified as
meeting the "Top Tier Detergent Gasoline" standard set by BMW, General Motors,
Honda and Toyota. The Chicago Auto Show is an opportunity for Shell to further
demonstrate its collaboration with the auto industry in the development of
advanced conventional and future fuels.
Shell's sponsorship of the Exotic Car exhibit will provide local consumers with
the opportunity to see legendary car models such as Lamborghini, Lotus, Panoz
and a replica of Michael Schumacher's Ferrari Challenge racecar, which will be
at the show for a limited time. Chicago-area Shell retailers also are getting
involved by offering two specially-priced passes to the Chicago Auto Show to
consumers who make a minimum $10 gasoline purchase at over 211 local
participating Shell stations. The discount passes, which can save consumers
half-price up to $10 on weekday auto show admission, are available at
participating Shell stations through February 18, 2005, or while supplies last.
In addition, Shell is giving consumers the chance to win a new 2005 Chevy SSR
pick-up truck. Entry forms will be available at participating Chicago- area
Shell stations and at the Shell exhibit at the Chicago Auto Show. No purchase
is necessary to enter. The sweepstakes ends February 20, 2005.
"Shell has been providing American motorists with quality fuels and lubricants
for nearly 100 years and as a longtime member of the motoring community, we are
proud to be the sponsor of the 2005 Chicago Auto Show," said Ian Sutcliffe,
vice president of retail for Shell Oil Products US. "Whether it's providing
customers with one of the best rebate credit cards available in the oil
industry, specially formulated gasoline or specially priced tickets to the
Chicago Auto Show, Shell is dedicated to giving customers more value for their
money."
The Shell booth, located near the Shell Exotic Car exhibit, will feature both
fun and educational activities such as Ferrari calendar giveaways and a "Gas
Pump Game" that will give visitors the opportunity to win Shell gasoline gift
cards valued from $10 to $100. Additionally, applications will be available to
sign up for the Shell MasterCard(R) from Citi(R) Cards, which offers a 5
percent rebate on all Shell gasoline purchases and an additional 1 percent
rebate on all other purchases.
The 2005 Chicago Auto Show will be held at McCormick Place from Friday,
February 11 through Sunday, February 20, 2005 and the Shell-sponsored "First
Look for Charity" preview party, which benefits 19 local charities, will be
held on February 10. First Look for Charity is one of Chicago's most bountiful
charitable causes and the event, which raised more than $2.4 million in 2004,
is a black-tie affair that allows participants to get the "first look" at more
than 1,000 new vehicles.
