The Cleveland Auto Show kicks off Northern Ohio's spring automotive season, showcasing concept, pre-production, and production vehicles alongside entertainment like sports and celebrity appearances. Known as one of the nation’s top five auto shows, it’s been a family favorite since 1903, when it first displayed Cleveland-made cars at Gray’s Armory. Once considered the "first Motor City," Cleveland played a key role in early American automotive manufacturing with brands like Winton, White, Jordan, and Peerless.
