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.
