Mike Dobuski/ABC News(DETROIT) The Detroit Auto Show is underway this week, against the backdrop of an historic strike effort from unionized auto workers.
Almost every year since 1907, Detroit has played host to a trade show that attracts executives, celebrities, politicians, journalists, and everyday enthusiasts from around the car world, all of whom descend on the city’s Huntington Place convention center to check out the latest the automotive industry has to offer. At this year’s show, Ford pulled the wraps off an updated F-150 pickup truck, and GMC showed off a new Acadia SUV.
Last year, Ford’s latest Mustang made its debut at the show, and President Biden was one of several high-profile attendees.
While other cities regularly host big auto shows, experts say Detroit has long been the most influential in the American car industry.
“It was the biggest, it had the most people, it had just the most excitement,” Jessica Caldwell, Director of Insights at Edmunds, says of
