From the "British Pathe" series of cinema newsreels (yes, I'm posting a lot of clips to them today), here is some footage of some newsreels. The emphasis in mainly on UK cars.
Motor Show Opens (1950)
Motor Show (1951)
The Paris Motor Show (1952) (this clip is yet another example of the "Look at what Britain is exporting! We must export or die!!" sub-genre of the 50s/60s)
Motor Show (1953)
Britain's Cars On Parade Aka Britain's Cars On Show (1954)
Italian Motor Show Aka Italy - Motor Show, 1955
French Auto Show (1956)
Motoring News - New York (1956)
France's Motor Show (1957)
Dutch Hold International Car Show (1958)
Commercial Motor Show (1958)
Motor Show (1959)
Earls Court Motor Show (1959) - This is silent outtake footage. Notice that they did several takes involving the moving seat.
I wonder if anyone could post some American news footage of 1950s motor shows, or maybe some 1950s French newsreel footage of motor shows.
