Saturday 25th February 1967

“The show must go on,” was the theme of the 1967 Chicago Auto Show, when four weeks prior to its opening, a catastrophic fire destroyed McCormick Place. A rapid reorganization returned the event to its former venue, the International Amphitheatre, where it would remain until McCormick place was rebuilt/reopened in 1971. Popular vehicles at the ’67 show included the restyled Plymouth Barracuda, new Ford Thunderbird Landau sedan, Sunbeam Tiger, and Maserati’s two-passenger Mistral.
