start from thebeginning

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.

    Like its namesake, the Pontiac Piranha was “a small package with a big bite.” Though it looked like a sleek coupe, it came with back doors that opened rearward to access the interior and possible 58.2-cubic feet of storage space. A roof rack system popped up when needed, and a removable tub in the cargo area served as a cooler. The front-wheel drive Piranha came armed with a 203 horsepower, supercharged 2.2-liter 16-valve four-cylinder engine, mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission.
