2014 Paris Motor Show, Paris, France

Until 1986 it was called the Salon de l'Automobile; it took the name Mondial de l'Automobile in 1988. The show was held annually through 1976, after which it has been biennial.
• History
The show was the first motor show in the world, started in 1898 by industry pioneer, Albert de Dion. After 1910 it was held at the Grand Palais in the Champs-Élysées.
During the First World War motor shows were suspended, meaning that the show of October 1919 was only the 15th "Salon". There was again no Paris Motor Show in 1925, the venue having been booked instead for an Exhibition of Decorative Arts. In October 1926 the Motor Show returned, this being the 26th Paris Salon de l'Automobile.
