+1. This is indeed a great show that is focused on the design of the vehicle and not the restoration level.The money goes to a worthwhile charity as Isaac mentioned: The Detroit Inst. of Ophthalmology. Always an interesting mix of cars.

This is, indeed, a very prestigious show for anyone who hasn't been, and is going to a very good cause.
