DETROIT — the Detroit Auto Show It returns this week, offering a chance to take a peek at the cars of today and tomorrow and go for a spin, too.
The annual car festival held at Detroit Convention Hall features a lineup of more than 40 car brands. At last year’s fair, organizers say attendees made more than 100,000 trips.
“This is what makes the Detroit Auto Show different,” said Todd Szot, show president. “You can get up close and personal with the people behind the brands and actually experience the vehicles.”
The Detroit Auto Show was once the venue for debuts of new models, eye-catching displays and scores of journalists from around the world.
Since then, automakers have decided that new models can make a bigger splash when they are revealed to a digital audience on a day when they don’t have to share the spotlight with competitors.
