<br />
With the state of the economy, it didn't come as much of a surprise that manufacturer presence was down at the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/la-auto-show/">LA Auto Show</a> this year. The carmakers that did show up, however, brought their "A Game" - mostly. As much as that was true for new vehicle introductions, it also applied to the deployment of booth professionals as well.<br />
<br />
Many booths didn't hire models this year, unfortunately, and companies that have traditionally been reliable sources of model employment weren't even here in 2009. We're looking at <em>you</em>, Ferrari, Lamborghini and Maserati. Still, it was nice to see even a few smiling faces while we scoured the darkened halls of the LA Convention Center trying in our obsessive search for postworthy material.<br />
<br />
While we didn't encounter many spokesmodels, we did find a lot of beauty in the City of Angels. We've assembled a small gallery of random shots and artsy-fartsy images to give all of you a taste of this year's show from LA. Click below to see our small but satisfying high-res gallery.<br />

Frankfurt was no different than any other show in this respect, and we couldn't find a single automaker that hadn't hired at least a few models to lean on their cars (we didn't look that hard them, honestly). Of course, we came to Frankfurt to see the cars, so in most cases we tried to shoot both the model and the car in the same frame. Zoom, however, was used on occasion.

But nary a vehicle we passed at the 2006 Paris Motor Show stood on that turntable alone; each was accompanied by an equally fine female accent. We would never dream of objectifyng those born without a Y chromosome, so thankfully more than a few automakers at this year's Paris show were willing to step in and do the job for us. We submit these images for your viewing pleasure, although hopefully not too much pleasure. Follow the jump for more lovely lady pics, all high resolution, of course.<p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2006/10/02/the-lovely-ladies-of-the-2006-paris-motor-show/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>The lovely ladies of the 2006 Paris Motor Show</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2006/10/02/the-lovely-ladies-of-the-2006-paris-motor-show/">The lovely ladies of the 2006 Paris Motor Show</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Mon, 02 Oct 2006 21:07:00 EST.
