DETROIT (FOX 2) - The wait is nearly over. The Detroit Auto Show is returning with as much fanfare as anything the city has seen since it first put the world on wheels.
After three years of waiting and a global pandemic preventing the auto show from taking place, Detroit is ready. Carmakers are ready. Huntington Place is ready. The question now - are you ready?

Along with a 61-foot tall duck that weighs over 8,000 pounds, Jeep has set up indoor and outdoor tracks at Huntington Place and Hart Plaza.
Inside, at Camp Jeep and Ram Truck Territory, you can drive a Jeep around the test track to try out some of the off-road features. It will include a 23' tall mountain with a 45-degree approach and departure angles.
