Program, "The Automobile Salon," New York City, 1920
01
Artifact Overview
Unlike conventional auto shows aimed at mass-market customers, smaller salon-style shows catered to an exclusive and wealthy clientele. Exceptional American makes like Duesenberg, Packard, and Pierce-Arrow were featured alongside superb European marques like Delage, Panhard, Renault, and Rolls-Royce. Salons typically were held in posh hotels rather than raucous convention centers.
