Great article. Congratulations to Detroit, the auto industry, and your LIONS.
Loved your rebranding of the name, "Detroit Auto Show"
I am so happy for your brilliant revitalization.
I liked the two Lessons Learned
I loved having your black sororities participate in key note positions. Remember to include, and publicize key note positions for Asians, Hispanics, Indians (Western and Eastern), and Caucasians. We all love cars, Detroit, excellence, fun, and I love the Lions.
Great memories of attending the Detroit Auto show for a dozen years straight. Remembering when the Chinese built cars were out of the way, in the “basement” of COBO Hall, and at that time the fit and finish was terrible. Each and every year you could see the improvements in their vehicles proving that workers are the same all over but the company and corporate cultures are what makes the difference.
Thanks for the great article, hopefully new generations will be inspired by the vehicles on display.
This is what great writing does. I don't care about cars. Or trucks. At all. Yet, Phoebe's behind-the-scenes look at the Detroit Auto Show makes me want to attend, be a part of it all, and not miss out! Amazing...

Thanks for another great article.
Thank you for the thoughtful note during this holiday week — deep dives are always satisfying. Inclusion matters.

I love hearing your memories and perspective. One of the earliest columns I wrote, years ago, was about going to the auto show with my Papa. It makes me smile every time I read it. https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/2018/01/25/phoebe-howard-detroit-auto-show/1065992001/
