The 1975 Chicago Auto Show, held at McCormick Place from February 22 to March 2, marked a major turning point as the industry pivoted toward fuel efficiency following the energy crisis. It was a vibrant spectacle of American automotive culture, and the “Auto Show Girls” of that year perfectly captured the unique transition of mid-70s style.
Dressed in everything from sleek, sophisticated evening wear to playful, era-defining leisure suits, these models were more than just ambassadors for the latest cars, they were icons of a high-energy era. As they stood alongside the towering chrome grilles of luxury sedans and the bold lines of the year’s newest coupes, they brought a sense of humanity and glamour to the massive halls of McCormick Place.
