First staged in 1901, the Chicago Auto Show is the largest auto show in North America and has been held more times than any other auto exposition on the continent. This year marks the 117th edition of the Chicago Auto Show.

 
  • Hyundai selected the 2000 Chicago Auto Show to introduce the HCD-V Crosstour concept, a stylish and sporty five-door alternative vehicle to a traditional SUV. Also billed as the HCD 5, the all-wheel drive Crosstour prototype was powered by a 180 horsepower, 2.7 liter V-6 engine, linked to an automatic tranny. A star attraction in the Cadillac exhibit was the LMP (LeMans Prototype) racing car. Powered by Cadillac's Northstar four liter V-8, the radically designed LMP was constructed by domestic race car builder Riley & Scott.
