VIP gathered March 21 for a preview of the March 22-24 First Hawaiian International Auto Show at Hawaii Convention Center. A highlight for attendees was the chance to win $100,000. A crowd assembled every two hours during the show to watch a contestant select from 295 money bags, which had been placed in a Maserati. The $100,000 Giveaway Contest was sponsored by show title sponsor First Hawaiian Bank and the Hawaii Automobile Dealers Association.
