Last Friday evening was the annual Black Tie Gala to Benefit Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia held at the Philadelphia Auto Show. The event happens the night before the show opens and allows guests to get up close and personal with the cars without the giant crowds that are usually part of the show and includes dinner and dancing.

I was honored to escort Miss America 2008 Kirsten Haglund to this year’s black tie event. Kirsten was just selected the Saturday before and this was her first public appearance. Kirsten was formally Miss Michigan and she grew up in the Detroit Suburbs. So, it was no surprise to learn that she loved cars.

As the event came to a close, we snuck downstairs to the Chevrolet display. With all of the GM people gone and a bribe to the security guard (my last candy bar) we were able to take these pictures of two of the best looking things to come out of Detroit in a long time!

Nice PICS. After looking at the front spoiler I wonder how long its going to be before the spoiler gets totaled from going in and out of driveways.

Uhh ..Dave ...you didn't happen to take any pics of her posing on the ZR1 similar to the ones taken two years ago of a model sitting on the hood of the Dodge Challenger concept car at the Detroit Show similarly " after hours " , did you ?!

Dave,

thanks for the excitement. Tasteful pictures. Are you going to make posters from them? You know ones that you give away with each ZR1 sale.

Be nice, that' Miss America. However, Miss Carlisle, could be a different story!

What a hardship...how did you manage to...

1) Escort Miss America!!! Holy Moley Batman! That's a gig I want!!!

2) Get away with a pose in the corral? I'm betting it wasn't the candy bar that got you past the guard...

I'd say that would be one for the scrap book...

Please tell us she is a GM gal...hate to see her posing with Fords or Dodge products

Yea, the car's nice, too!!

Dave@Ciocca

She loves the GM cars (take a look at the below pic that SHE wanted to take.

However, she was really diggin' the Bentleys that we had there!

Wow, the 08 Miss America is very cute!! Any chance we might see her at the TFT run, I'm almost sure the ZR1 will be there.

Dave@Ciocca

I'm working on it!
