The LA Auto Show is serious business. It’s been going on since 1907 with ninety-nine 
vehicles on display at Morley’s Skating Rink. As the auto industry grew, the auto show changed venues four times throughout the 1920s to accommodate the growing needs of vendors. In 1926, it took place at the corner of Hill and Washington where it stayed for the next four years. Certainly there have been alot of changes since that time. Such as after 50 years the show has changed its name from The Greater Los Angeles Auto Show to the LA Auto Show.
