Auto Show Poster, "Detroit 2006: North American International Auto Show"
01
Artifact Overview
Auto shows use glamour, giveaways, spectacle, and sex appeal to show off manufacturers' latest offerings. Part entertainment and part consumer education, auto shows have their roots in 19th Century industrial exhibitions and world's fairs. New York City hosted America's first auto show in 1900 and the idea caught on. This poster promoted the 2006 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan.
