From March 6 to 16, 1980, Geneva not only hosted the 50th International Motor Show, but was also able to look back on the 75-year history of this important trade fair. For the first time in 1905, the latest achievements in vehicle technology were presented to 13,000 visitors on 1000 square meters. In 1924, after several editions, it became the International Motor Show, which attracted 68,000 visitors who were able to admire vehicles on 8,000 square meters. After the Second World War, the Geneva Motor Show finally became international and attracted exhibitors and interested parties from all over the world to the Palais in the city on the Rhone every year. In 1952, the exhibition space was increased from 28,000 square meters to 55,000 square meters by 1981. As is well known, the Salon then moved to the airport in 1982, making the cramped conditions of Geneva's city center and the associated parking problems a thing of the past.
