The Chicago Auto Show has a long, rich history. They are very proud of that history and have posted many historical photos on their website: http://www.chicagoautoshow.com/show_his ... fault.aspx
Attached are some of the DeSoto related photos I found searching the site. Not all years have any DeSoto photos and some years have no photos at all. Very little pre-war for example. However, all the photos provide an interesting look back at the excitement these shows used to generate in the days when a car's appearance changed yearly.
