First International Automobile Show Program, New York, New York, February 1949

01

Artifact Overview

Auto shows allowed automakers to share their latest models with the press and the public, and they gave visitors a chance to review and research. They were part trade show and part show business -- and they're nearly as old as the automobile itself. The 1900 New York Auto Show is considered the first major all-automobile show in the United States.
