From Pontiac and Plymouth to DeSoto and Durant, these dear departed automotive brands were among many featured at this unique car show.
Car companies and brands may come and go, but the products—if engineered and built well—could live on for decades. And what better way to honor the many parent-less vehicles than with a car show in a town near Detroit with a rich automotive history: Ypsilanti.
