The Chicago Auto Show - Windy City Wide-Trackin'

A Pictorial History Of Pontiac At The Chicago Auto ShowPart I: 1959-1968
American auto shows have cultivated a rich history by providing a venue in which the automakers may present themselves in a positive light and reach a broad audience. For more than 100 years, everything from dream cars to purpose-built show cars and production models debuted at auto shows across the country in an effort to gauge public opinion on the latest trends, styling, and technology. By the '50s, the pageantry of some of the introductions and the lavish visuals surely made in-house auto industry accountants convulse, but such was the norm back when computers needed their own rooms, television screens were 12 inches diagonally, and the yearly introductions from the automakers were a major event on Main Street, USA.
