Fifth Third Bank (Exclusive Bank) will once again serve as a main distributor of the weekday half-priced auto show coupons. In addition to distributing weekday half-price discount coupons at more than 200 Chicago and northwest Indiana banking centers, Fifth Third will help turn the key on an exclusive Groupon offer good for the Chicago Auto Show's opening weekend. The #17 Fifth Third Bank Ford Fusion NASCAR is sure to get fans' engines revving, as the vehicle's engine will be revved at select times throughout the show. Additionally, race fans of all ages will be able to test their skills on custom racing simulators in the Fifth Third exhibit. Show-goers also will be able to refuel their wallets at one of the Fifth Third Bank ATM's located throughout the show floor.
