A photo of the Jeep exhibit captures a Wagoneer Laredo station wagon with roof rack. The scene is before the opening of the 1981 Chicago Auto Show, and located on the lower level of McCormick Place. An insiginia on the front fender advises that the Wagoneer had four-wheel drive.

The new Scrambler sits in the foreground of the AMC/Jeep exhibit area before the opening of the 73rd annual Chicago Auto Show, Feb. 21-March 1, 1981. A fabric roof covers the front occupants, as in any Jeep CJ, but the rear consists of an open cargo box with roll bars. Other Jeep models can be seen toward the rear, including a regular CJ at left and a red Cherokee Chief wagon at right.


Either a four- or six-cylinder engine might be installed in the Jeep Scrambler, a pickup-truck rendition of the familiar CJ series. Scramblers adopted wider front and rear tread width this year. "We wrote the book on four-wheel drive," say signs at the Jeep display space on the lower level of McCormick Place. Note the fabric "door" and top on this Jeep.


Built by AMC in Wisconsin using Renault drivetrains (from France), a new Encore sits on a raised rectangular platform at the main-floor exhibit space for AMC/Jeep/Renault products. This year, Encore hatchbacks joined the Alliance sedans that had debuted in 1983. AMC (American Motors) was Renault's partner in the U.S. market. Other Renault/AMC models may be seen toward the rear.



At left center of this scene from the 1985 Chicago Auto Show are AMC Jeeps. A Jeep Cherokee Chief station wagon has its tailgate raised, and protruding into the photo is the front end of a red Jeep CJ-7 Laredo. The Renault exhibit space is at right rear.

Traditional-minded four-wheel-drive sport-utility buyers often opted for the upright-profiled Jeep Cherokee, pictured at the Jeep/Eagle truck exhibit space on the lower level. This red example has Laredo trim (a $3492 option). A sign toward the rear promotes the Jeep Renegade, said to be arriving in fall 1990.


New for 1990, a Lumina APV minivan is the featured model in this scene at the lower-level space for Chevrolet trucks in the 1990 Chicago Auto Show. This was one of three new General Motors front-wheel drive minivans, each with plastic-like body panels. Glimpses of two additional models are visible, including a rear-drive Astro van on a raised platform toward the right.


Toyota's 4Runner sport-utility vehicle fills most of this shot at the space for 1990 Toyota trucks on the lower level of McCormick Place. The 4Runner was available in either a two-door or four-door body configuration, and powered by the buyer's choice of the four-cylinder or V-6 engine.


New for 1991 (introduced in spring 1990), an Explorer sport-utility vehicle sits on a raised platform at the exhibit space for Ford products, on the upper level. Available with either two or four doors, Explorer replaced the prior Bronco II. Ordinarily, trucks are displayed on the lower level of McCormick Place. Portions of two passenger cars can be seen in the left and right foreground, including a maroon Escort at far left. Subcompact Escorts had been redesigned, introduced as early '91 models.


A Golf 4-door hatchback dominates the left foreground of this scene at the main-floor exhibit space for Volkswagen automobiles. Four engines were available in hatchback Golf and notchback Jetta models, including a diesel four-cylinder and a dual-cam four (in the new Golf GTI 16V and the Jetta GLI 16V). Portions of several other Volkswagen models can be seen toward the rear, including a glimpse of a Cabriolet (convertible), based on the old Rabbit design. Several banners refer to "Fahrvergnugen," which was the VW theme at this time.


A red Land Cruiser sits on a raised round platform at the lower-level display for Toyota trucks. Another Land Cruiser can be seen at left. Introduced in March 1990 as a '91 model, this was the first redesign for the full-size Land Cruiser sport-utility in a decade. Permanent four-wheel-drive was standard, and the 4.0 liter inline six-cylinder engine produced 155 horsepower.

Another Rodeo, holding a pair of kayaks, can be seen at right. A kiosk at far right, only partially visible, describes a ski tie-in to test-driving an Isuzu product. Rodeos got a more powerful engine this year, borrowed from the bigger Trooper.

A maroon Explorer sport-utility vehicle takes up half of this scene at the lower-level space for Ford trucks. But the Explorer that catches one's eye is the dramatically-colored and accessory-laden example at left: a promotional vehicle for the Jurassic Park movie.

Visitors to the 1997 Chicago Auto Show were among the first in the U.S. to see Toyota’s “Crawler”-equipped 4Runner sport utility vehicle. The Crawler system featured four triangular tank-track units which replaced the conventional wheel/tire combination. Installation of the system required no major modifications to the vehicle, and involved removing the existing tires and wheels and simply bolting the Crawler unit in their place. Crawler-equipped vehicles can be driven at speeds up to 50 mph.

One of the most dramatic displays at the 1998 Chicago show was located in the Jeep exhibit. A Jeep Wrangler is perched at a steep angle on top a of a rock formation as a demonstrating of the vehicle's climbing abilities. At the base of the hill is a '98 Cherokee.



Chrysler borrowed a model name from the past,

Avanti introduced its Studebaker sport utility prototype at the 2003 Chicago Auto Show. The vehicle ruffled the feathers of General Motors, which not only was selling the look-alike Hummer SUV at the time, but displaying it only a few feet from the Avanti display.


During the 2000 Chicago Auto Show, Mayor Richard M. Daley stated that nothing shaped 20th century America more than the automobile, and wondered what the automobile's role would be in the new 21st century. First Look for Charity raised more than $1 million for 12 Chicago area charitites, and a 2000 Chevrolet Suburban was the evening's grand prize. Hot topics were hybrids and fuel cells. Rendering on the show program cover is of the Pontiac Piranha concept vehicle. On the right, a near-vertical 25-foot high rock formation in the Jeep exhibit, included a 2000 Jeep Wrangler Sport scaling the monolith. The visual dramatization was created to demonstrated that the new Jeep had greater off-road capabilities than previous models.


The 2002 Jeep Liberty Renegade made its world debut at the Chicago Auto Show on February 6. Tom Marinelli, vice president- - Chrysler/Jeep Global Brands, gave the media at a press preview a run down on the Jeep that would replace the Cherokee. The Renegade used during the presentation, was painted in bright cactus green and sported an activity light bar, bolted-on appearing wheel flares, removable side steps and a two-tone front fascia. For serious off-roading explorations, the running boards could be removed. Standard engine consisted of a 210-hp 3.7-liter V-6. Available in either 2 or 4-wheel drive, the Liberty came fitted with 16-inch white-letter tires mounted on aluminum wheels. Interiors were upholstered in woven cloth and leather, accented by an aluminum-trimmed instrument panel.


Posed in an off-road diorama at the 2002 show, was the 2003 Subaru Forester compact sports-utility vehicle. This was the second-generation Forester SUV and was based on the Impreza subcompact platform. Fresh styling and more legroom distinguished the new Forester wagon from its predecessors. Forester was all-wheel drive and powered by a horizontally opposed 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine. Projected on a large screen in the background were front and rear views of the Forester.


A specially equipped Land Rover Range Rover was on display during the 2004 show, promoting the Drive Around the World - Longitude Expedition, which began on November 1, 2003. Land Rover Certified Pre-Owned served as the exclusive vehicle sponsor for the nine month, 32,000-mile international expedition designed to increase awareness and raise funds for Parkinson's Disease and provide global educational opportunities for students everywhere.
