Plenty of interesting facts and tidbits about the North American International Auto Show are available to Internet users. For example, did you know that the cost of admission was only 50 cents back in 1907 for the first-ever edition? Or that more than 6,700 journalists from 62 different countries now walk on the carpet in the various halls -- enough carpet to cover 750 football fields?


There's another interesting aspect of the show which most media outlets fail to report about: aside from the cars on display, beauty also comes in the form of smiling, long-legged models who seem to be everywhere. But since a picture is worth a thousand words, I leave you with this million-word photo album. Enjoy.
