History of the North American Auto Show

The predecessor of the annual North American International Auto Show is the original Detroit International Auto Show, which has a history of more than a hundred years and is one of the longest-established car shows in the United States hosted by the Detroit Auto Dealers Association.

In November 1900, the first World Automobile Expo was held by the New York American Automobile Club.

In 1907, it moved to the automotive city of Detroit. At that time, the venue was set up in Belle's Beer Garden. Only 17 manufacturers were participating in the small exhibition area, and the vehicles were only 33 in number.

In 1957, European car factories finally came across the ocean, and the figures of Volvo, Mercedes-Benz, and Porsche appeared for the first time, attracting high attention from the American people, and the "king flag" of the Detroit Auto Show was officially raised.

Since 1965, the exhibition has been moved to the Cobo Conference and Exhibition Center.
