PORTLAND, OR (02.26.26) – The Oregon International Auto Show is the largest auto show in the Pacific Northwest. Stereo King was on site to show their latest products and builds plus to connect with members of the crowd, estimated at nearly 90,000, during the 4-Day run February 19th-22nd 2026 at the Oregon Convention Center.
“This was our 7th year to exhibit at the Oregon International Auto Show. We set our plan to showcase new in-vehicle upgrades and technologies to attendees and feel that turned out very well. My guess is attendance was up 20% this year and our booth was the busiest ever. Once again we were in The Garage area of the Oregon Convention Center and our decked out Tesla Model 3 stood out in that area. Linkswell and Escort were also located in The Garage area” Kevin Cornutt, behind the Stereo King wheel, related.
Continuing “Our Tesla Model 3 was loaded with premium aftermarket upgrades and a full custom audio system build to impress. The Tesla 3 brought attendees from across all the huge floor. My wife Bethany, Anthony Galster and I worked the booth and it was non-stop every day. I talked to probably 100 people who said ‘I don’t like Teslas…but I love this Tesla. Brad Smith knocked it out of the park with the custom installation. When I popped the front hood and people saw the amplifier
RED lighting on the Tesla 3 wheels also drew attention.
The custom enclosure in the back trunk area also grabbed attention.
Rob Sutton and Crossover Marketing Group were on site throughout the event. “The Garage section has become one of the biggest attractions at this show, and Stereo King is right in the center of its success. Kevin and his crew have refined their event presence into something special and this year the Tesla 3 pulled crowds unlike anything we have ever seen before. A very effective demo” Sutton relayed.
Continuing “Linkswell brings an incredible commitment to events like this, and together we are not just selling product, we are educating consumers and building long term relationships. Walter Detlefsen was on site with family members Jonathan, Gabriel and Victor.”
Many attendees got down on their hands and knees to see if this deep amp installation went all the way to the ground.
“Our legs are a bit sore this week, but we could not be more excited about the opportunity to do it again next year” Sutton concluded.
“As a followup we offer show discounts to anybody that goes into any of our stores and lets them know they visited our booth at the show. One of the discounts is $200 off on Linkswell radios” Cornutt added
Stereo King has stores in Clackamas, Gresham, Aloha and Salem for professional sales and installation for area consumers.
“The 2027 Portland International Auto Show is already penciled in on the Stereo King 2027 event calendar” Cornutt concluded.
