Chicago Auto Show - 1941
Concept Cars
The 41st annual Chicago Auto Show was held October 26 through November 3, 1940. Illustrations of an early horseless carriage and a modern, streamlined motorcar appeared on the cover of the 64-page 1941 auto show program. This would be the final event before America entered World War II and the last one until 1950. A total of 18 manufacturers exhibited vehicles, with nearly 400,000 people attending the nine-day affair. A twice-daily stage pageant called, 'Non-Stop America,' dramatized the history of cars in two acts, with 20 neighborhood and suburban 'queens' participating in the extravaganza.
