[NYT]	New York Times The New York Automobile show was held in early January from 1922 to 1932. The Times reported extensively on the show. Typically there was one article per manufacturer, so the papers are a very interesting read, although not necessarily a great source for Durant information. I found microfilm copies of these papers at my local university library.
