Program Description

Event Details

Concept cars, or prototypes, have captured the imagination of Chicago Auto Show crowds for over 80 years. This visual journey starts with the first dream car at the 1941 auto show, the Buick Y-Job. It cruises on forward through the ultramodern visions of 2023. Attendees will have the chance to win one of three pairs of free tickets to the 2024 Chicago Auto Show, Turtle Wax car care products, and copies of the book First to One Hundred – History of the First 100 Chicago Auto Shows. Presented by auto historian M.J. Frumkin.

Registration required.
