| Description: | Founded in 1904, the Chicago Automobile Trade Association (CATA) is the nation's oldest and largest metropolitan dealer organization. The CATA is comprised of more than 700 franchised new car dealers and allied members, employing 56,000 people in the metropolitan area. CATA dealerships contribute to the state, county and city tax base with gross receipts of $16.5 billion in new car sales alone; $26 billion in new, used, parts and service. The extended impact of tax base contribution through CATA dealership employees make this group one of the largest tax constituencies in the city and state. The CATA's mission is to promote and maintain honesty and dependability; employ truth and accuracy in dealer advertising; strive to constantly improve business methods and ethics; and maintain fair competition to serve both dealer and customer. While the Chicago Auto Show was first staged in 1901, the CATA has produced the world famous Chicago Auto Show since 1935. The 2007 Chicago Auto Show will be the 99th edition. Manufacturers from around the world consider the Chicago Auto Show as North America's most significant consumer exposition. The auto show's annual First Look for Charity black-tie preview raised more than $2.6 million last year for 16 area charities, making it one of the city's largest single-day fundraising events. |
