Both anchors will take time to talk with dealers about their operational practices, and trends they see in the industry.
"The 'Road to NADA Tour,' was established so that the CBT News Team could connect with its viewers and subscribers," said Bridget Fitzpatrick, Co-Founder of CBT. "Cars.com is the ideal partner for CBT due to their 20 years of deep expertise and dealer relationships, commitment to driving the industry forward with The 4Ps of Automotive Marketing and dedication to making meaningful connections between buyers and sellers. We look forward to their expert insights as well as hearing from their customers across Cars.com, DealerRater and Dealer Inspire on the road to NADA as well as during the show."
