This authentic 1960s color photograph captures the excitement of the 1962 Detroit Auto Show held at the newly opened Cobo Hall in Detroit, Michigan. The image showcases the expansive Plymouth and Chrysler exhibition area, featuring a large, modern “PLYMOUTH” sign elevated above a display of the latest 1962 models, including sedans and station wagons. Crowds of well-dressed attendees in mid-century suits and overcoats navigate the showroom floor, which is decorated with floral planters and futuristic display pedestals highlighting engine components and color options. Prominent signage touts the “5-YEAR OR 50,000-MILE WARRANTY,” a major marketing point for Chrysler Corporation at the time. The background reveals the immense scale of the convention center with its distinctive honeycomb-patterned ceiling and additional displays for Jeep and White trucks. This high-resolution scan is a premier historical record of the Motor City’s most famous annual event during the golden age of American automotive design. This digital download is an incredible piece of local history, perfect to print for yourself as vintage Detroit wall art.
