Auto Industry Shines At 2017 Detroit Show

Approximately 800,000 visitors are expected to file through Cobo Center in Detroit for the 2017 North American International Auto Show during the public days ending Sunday, January 22, 2017.

During the media preview days, Detroit Free Press auto writer Mark Phelan joined some 5000 other journalists from all over the world for first-time sightings of new models and the overall pomp and circumstance of a new model year in Michigan's number-one industry.

The Detroit show is considered the premier event in North America, thus the glitzy unveiling of new models and black tie charity event the Friday before public days.
