Story on the 1929 fire.
Fire starting from a smoldering cigarette broke out at the Los Angeles Auto Show at 4:10 p.m. yesterday, and a half hour later the $1,250,000 display at the corner of Washington and Hill streets, housed in four huge tents, was a mass of smoking embers, charred wood, blazing rubber, and twisted steel. The loss is covered by a blanket insurance policy, officials of the show stated. |

Mr. Arthur Twohy was at this event and was the guy responsible for the formation of the Horseless Carriage Club of America around this same time. One of the big losses of this 1929 fire was the loss of a huge 1907 Packard that had over 500,000 miles on it and was still running strong. Very rare in those days.
