Years ago I did some photography at the Detroit Auto Show (which is now the
#1 in the world...) and it wasn't any problem at all. I didn't use a flash,
but used 400 color negative (Kodacolor 400? -- long time ago). I took a lot
of pictures of the various models and even a few of the cars...

Auto shows usually have a fair amount of light, as they want the cars to be
bright, shiny, and look desirable. You can probably get away with 400 speed
and no flash, or 800 for certain. A monopod might help if you want to stop
down some.
