Artifact Overview

Auto shows have been around nearly as long as the automobile itself. These events gave carmakers an opportunity to share their latest models with the press and the public. They also gave visitors a chance to research their next new-car purchase. This program is from New York's 1987 auto show -- the first held in the city's then-new Javits Center.

    Auto shows serve many purposes. They provide automakers with a place to share their latest models with the press and the public. They allow aftermarket vendors to promote goods and services. And they give visitors a chance to research -- or maybe just dream about -- their next new car. Part trade show, part show business, the auto show is an institution nearly as old as the automobile itself.
