North American International Auto Show

At the launch of the V8 Wrangler, one of the Jeep's top executives gave the movement a shout out from the stage.

A tire company made her an ambassador and ran a sweepstakes in her name with donations going to charity she started that bought supplies for teachers in struggling school districts.

When this car was unveiled at the 1998 Detroit Auto Show, it caused all 2,000 attendees to spontaneously yawn.

The resulting abrupt change in air pressure inside the building caused a partial collapse of the roof.

Four people died.

I think they're actually going to show it very early in 2027.

My guess is they will probably reveal it in full either at CES or the Detroit Auto Show.

Because they've said they're going to start taking pre-orders early in 2027.

Probably, yes, maybe.

And so, yeah, I mean, it is a truck show, maybe, maybe Detroit, maybe CES or maybe, you know, they'll just have their own little event out, you know, either around those or outside.

Well, yeah.

I mean, if they if it's associated with the Detroit Auto Show, it will probably be an event that they host.

Another, uh, item of interest that I learned at about 4:00, 3:00, 3:00 or 4:00 this morning, Rod Alberts is a dear friend.

Rod Alberts you've heard on this show since I've been doing it, and, and he's been in charge of the, what was then the North American International Auto Show, the Auto Show, the Detroit Auto Show, uh, working with and for the DADA, the Detroit Dealers Association.

Rod Alberts is right now the guy who saved the car show, and I ...

And that's not a, that's not a n- that's, that's an understatement.

I look at Ford pulling out of SEMA.

They don't do the Detroit Auto Show and all that anymore.

Like these big companies are not spending, you know, millions of dollars to do big events like that.

But then they don't have that connection with that in buyer like that.

It was probably 10 or 15 years ago.

It was probably at the Detroit Auto Show or New York Auto Show.
