In 1929, the Seattle Automobile Dealers Association joined with groups in Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York to host a travelling auto show. The group brought more than a million dollars worth of cars to the Hec Edmondson Pavilion at the University of Washington. Some new models were shown in the northwest for the first time

/In this photo, probably taken in 1929, 2-seated roadsters and 4-door sedans crowd the floor of the athletic pavilion. The show included Whippets, Hudsons, and Durants as well as Chevrolets, Fords, and Oldsmobiles.
