away. a lot of the displays are there to show you how the car runs. we have four simulators where you can drive vehicles on the showroom floor. we have the experience inside. so you can be in the jeep driving inside the building. and then most of the manufacturers are providing electric into the cars so you can get in and work the features of the car and feel that technology. plus, they all have product consultants on hand. not salespeople, mind you. >> can't drive it off the lot. >> come and relax and enjoy without discussing price. you can look at window stickers, that's it. enjoy the product, immerse yourself in it. consultant is there to make sure you understand the vehicle and what you're considering. >> a big draw for you this year that is one of these pope mobiles we may call them. one of the fiats that the pope used while he was here in philadelphia, actually two of them. >> i feel blessed by the pope, i'm an auto dealer and for two years i get to be chairman and the first year we have the pope mobile. and that's kind of an

irreplaceable asset. it's a once in a lifetime deal. when i got that phone call i was giddy over it because i was immersed in the pope's visit just like everyone else. so we have both of them. in fact, friday night it's not too late to get tickets for our black tie tailgate by the way which really helps our local hospital. we're going to auction one of those off and all the money is going to go to catholic charities, which is a terrific asset. and we'll have at least one of the fiats on displays. so you can get within feet of the same car the pope was in for the entire weekend he was here. pretty exciting. >> that is a draw for sure. david, thank you so much for joining us. >> lauren, thank you. >> we'll give you a little more information about this. the auto show, again, kicks off on saturday. it runs until february 7th. and for more information we have put a link on our nbc 10 mobile app and also on nbc10.com. thanks again. >> thank you, lauren. now your nbc 10 first alert weather with meteorologist bill henley. >> just before noon we've got

61 is the record on tuesday. we'll be very close to that. and there is a chance we'll see a snow shower tomorrow morning that's more likely in the pocono mountains, some of the northern suburbs, a brief snow shower but 40 in the afternoon. any snowflakes will quickly disappear. a cold morning on saturday. and then we really ease out of the cold on sunday. 50 degrees at least. we may see enough sunshine to warm above the 50 degree mark on sunday. and a bit of fog monday won't last 54 in the afternoon. and there's that warmer air that's surging ahead of some showers for later on tuesday. those will be rain showers. look at wednesday morning. 46 degrees will be the low temperature. so it will be nothing but rain coming through on wednesday. and still mild. that system will bring in some warm air with it. so a nice break. we'll be watching the snow melting right on through the weekend. it will be nice and warm when i return from iowa. >> yes. we'll welcome you with warmth. >> all right. thanks, bill. well, thanks for watching nbc 10 news at 11:00, i'm lauren mayk. for bill henley and all of us here at nbc 10, have a great day everyone. enjoy that weather.
