Auto Show in Washington Ends with Dancing and Sales Surge
The second annual Washington Automobile Dealers' Association show wrapped after six days of exhibits at Convention Hall. Thousands danced as the Marine Band played, and buyers favored higher priced models, including Gen G. H. Sharpe purchasing a Hudson roadster. Dealers credited the event with spurring sales and better cooperation, while manufacturers sought local agencies and a possible reorganization of regional dealer groups.
