A little history of the exhibition
The first auto show of the future international event took place in 1901. The last week of March was marked by the display of 36 brands of cars and more than 100 types of vehicles, including bicycles and motorcycles. Founder Samuel Miles – offered American taxpayers not only vehicles. Agricultural transport trucks, tractors, etc. also became a popular product of the exhibition. Unlike European automobile esplanades, the Chicago showroom did not stop its activities, even during the years of the Great Depression and during the Second World War. For more than 100 times it has been opened for fans and connoisseurs of the automotive industry. According to the latest data, the show annually gathers up to one and a half million people, including investors and importers from other countries.
Looking at the old-time overview shots, it becomes clear that the organizers had a lot of imagination to make the show memorable and attractive and to encourage visitors to come next time.
For example, the fairground was surrounded by a 20-foot-wide wooden track. Any car that interested the buyer could be tested for speed and driving performance. Nowadays, the idea has received technical support – now the track is shown on the LCD display of the corresponding car participating in the testing.
Nowadays, in addition to a calm track, the organizers have created artificial conditions close to natural for crossovers and jeeps, like an obstacle course. Anyone can test themselves, increase adrenaline and make a decision to purchase. By the way, a similar test was created for the children of visitors. Naturally, on a smaller scale and with copies of the vehicle.
To create an appropriate atmosphere at these shows, a large number of eminent movie and music stars are invited. Stars entertain guests, sign autographs, and behind the scenes participate in the advertising of a particular car brand.
Do not miss the chance to plunge into this atmosphere and get acquainted with the latest in the automotive business. Visit the Chicago Auto Show.
