When reading a Wikipedia page about the Shanghai Auto Shows, I was surprised to read that Wiki tells us that the first Shanghai Show was held in 1985. That is not true.
The first Show in Shanghai was held 64 years before, in November-December 1921.
There seems to have been some minor exhibitions in Shanghai, in 1906 and 1927. But the main big show was in 1921, I missed that one when I wrote about earlier Chinese auto shows.
With help of the magazine Oriental Motor, published in those years, I give you a review of the 1921 show.
