It's the hottest ticket to see the latest new car concepts and updates to popular car models

And it only happens in Detroit.

Watch for this year's show opening when it returns to Huntington Place from Saturday, September 16 to Sunday, September 24, 2023.

Although canceled in recent years due to COVID safety protocols, the Detroit Auto Show was back and better than ever last year -- sporting a new logo, a new format, and a Fall opening (rather than its traditional January slot.)

Watch this year as Stellantis, General Motors, Ford, and Jeep  unveil new or "facelifted" models during the 2023 show.

The big news? This year's Detroit Auto Show will also feature the debut of the the Alef Flying Car, the first to be approved by the FAA. Its all-electric deign allows it to take-off vertically in traffic jams, can run for more than 200 miles on a single charge while its compact size makes it street legal -- for a heart-stopping price tag of only $300,000!

Tesla, after not making the scene at the Detorit Auto Show since 2015, will also be returning most likely with its much-touted Cybertruck.

Meanwhile, keep it here for updates as another new spin is put on the 2023 Detroit Auto Show, the 'granddaddy' of American car shows, celebrating its 116th anniversary.

• It's always been popularly known as the Detroit Auto Show, but its official name is the North American International Auto Show. The name change was announced in 1989 when show organizers wanted to attract more international car makers.

• The Detroit Auto Show actually begins a week prior to the public opening. The first two days are for industry press only, followed by two days when auto insiders get a chance to preview the latest car models. There is also a charity preview day when all ticket proceeds go to Detroit charitable causes. The following day, the doors officially open to the public.

• The Detroit Auto Show is actually two shows in one. While major attention is given to new makes and models coming off the assembly line, a different spotlight shines on concept cars that show off advances in car design, safety, performance and computer technology.

• Each year, a panel of journalists judges new entries that are eligible to win the 'Oscars' of the auto industry, the North American Car, Utility and Truck of the Year Awards.
