  Detroit Auto Show (NAIAS) 2006 - Auto Show History - MSN Autos
The show's growth is best measured by the size of the buildings it has called home: from the Wayne Gardens in 1910 (the largest available space in the city at that time) to Morgan and Wright's Building in 1921 and 1922, the event and the venue was continually outdoing itself.
One measure of the show's stature is the number of international media in attendance, which has grown steadily each year and last year represented 31 percent of the 6,897 journalists who attended.
A truly international show, the NAIAS draws more than 6,500 foreign journalists and is the only U.S. auto show sanctioned by the Organisation Internationale Des Constructeurs d'Automobiles (OICA) annually.

During the media preview days for Detroit's North American International Auto Show, which opens to the public on Saturday, the Ford Motor (nyse: F - news - people) subsidiary displayed the Rapide ("Ra-PEED"--French for "fast"), a gorgeous sedan prototype that attempted to up the show's level of high culture.
The Detroit show, in terms of significance to the auto industry and volume of new vehicle introductions, is the world's most important car show--with the possible exception of the Frankfurt Motor Show, which is held every other year.
On the other hand, one of the most important and well-publicized vehicles at the show was one of the most humble: Geely Holding Group's CK sedan, the first Chinese vehicle ever displayed at a North American auto show.

 Innovations: Summary of 1999 Detroit International Auto Show and Potential Changes in Copper Content
Although Ford and DaimlerChrysler showed concept cars with environmental twists during the show's media preview week last week, General Motors did not have much new to say about its plans to make vehicles more friendly to the environment.
Despite the smaller number of environmental displays at the auto show, fuel efficiency and the use of new, lightweight materials are pervasive selling points of all the newly unveiled cars, from the upscale Cadillac Evoq to the remodeled entry-level Dodge and Plymouth Neon.
In fact, auto executives and analysts widely acknowledge that the internal-combustion engine that has powered automobiles since the beginning of the industry must eventually give way to a new, more efficient and clean kind of power train.
