Since 1901, fans of motorized four-wheeled transportation have been visiting the Chicago Auto Show, and despite the continued bad news emanating from the world's top automakers and the woeful economic situation in general, the 2009 edition of the annual Windy City event is pressing on as scheduled. Chicago is the heart of the Midwest, which has been truck country for as long as trucks have been around, and this auto show in particular has traditionally been the show where more trucks are introduced than anywhere else.
While there aren't as many truck introductions at this year's show, there are still some interesting and significant debuts, including the 2010 Ford Harley-Davidson F-150, the Dodge Ram Heavy-Duty, and the production version of the 2010 Ford Transit Connect van.
