Auto Show Plans For Danbury Fair Highlight New Models
Supt. Lake, appointed to run the mobile show at the Danbury Fair October 4 to 9, aims to make it the largest and most distinctive yet. The main building will showcase pleasure cars while delivery vehicles, trucks, and accessories appear in nearby tents. Fourteen local dealers will likely occupy about three quarters of the space, and many 1921 models will be shown for the first time in the region. A dust proof coating will be applied to the floor of the automobile building, and Lake will maintain an office at the main entrance with a staffer available at all hours for exhibitors and visitors.
