Artifact Overview
Detroit's annual auto show has taken place nearly every year since 1907. It was hosted by various venues until it found a home in 1960 at the newly opened Cobo Hall (now Huntington Place). Detroit's show initially focused on domestic manufacturers, but it broadened its scope to include international automakers. It was renamed the North American International Auto Show in 1989.
