Is it possible that someone said less glamour?

This is Detroit.

Think giant rubber duck when you think of the Charity Preview.

A teacher glowing in an iridescent floor-length dress said that the event was a life-changing one. I’ve always wanted to do that.

Vince Anderson, Lynn Anderson and John Joseph Jendza are dressed for the big night at the North American International Auto Show Charity Preview at Huntington Place in Detroit, Michigan on September 16, 2022.

The opening of the latest North American International Auto Show was so extravagant that it stretched from Hart Plaza to the convention center.

As they browsed the latest designs from auto makers, some 6,000 people in pristine tuxedos and gowns sipped champagne. The vibe was great.

Detroit scaled back this year because they prefer to introduce their newest wares during times when they have all the attention to themselves. There will be less model debuts at the show.

Someone forgot to tell the people at the charity event.

January was cold and September was warm. Nile Rodgers was on stage number one.

Rodgers is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

The auto show will feature electric guitars, electric cars and more.

The pols were all here. A group of people stood on stage at Huntington Place.

After three years, the show is back, and Jim Farley is happy about it.

He said they were happy to be back.

The other things flowed as well.

The spectacle was expected to raise $3 million for six children’s charities in southeast Michigan, but the numbers won’t be known for a while. The revelers pay $400 to be seen.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, (c), and other dignitaries cut the ribbon to open the NAIAS at Huntington Place, Friday night, September 16, 2022, in Detroit MI.

The charity was the one thatWhitmer liked the most. Since 1976, the gala has generated over 120 million dollars.

The governor wore a metallic purple A-line dress with a wide collar.

The hoi polloi hoofed it up at Huntington Plaza while the regular folk went down at Hart Plaza.

A family stumbled upon the event without a ticket.

Anna Swiontoniowski and her tribe were walking down the river when they saw monster trucks. The boy is obsessed with monster trucks.

She said the city is beautiful. The weather is perfect, the sun is shining and the river is flowing. I like it.

People look at the many monster trucks at Hart Plaza for the Detroit Auto Show on Friday, September 16, 2022.

Food trucks and artists booths can be found at Hart Plaza.

The autos were not the only ones who looked great.

The black tie affair was followed by all-white looks by some women. There were bright navy and blue dresses.

There is a trend. Sen. Stabenow wore a blue coat and black dress while joking.

The Royal Oak man wore shoes in honor of the electric cars.

He likes cars, especially when the car is a Chevrolet. A restored 1959 model is one of the two models he has. Red is the color of both of them.

He claimed to have gas in his veins.

Lunghamer said that organizers considered having more casual dress but didn’t because people were tired of wearing their pajamas.

The auto show was here because people were looking for a reason to wear their fancy clothes.

He said that everyone is happy to be out and about together. When is the last time they were dressed up?

The attendees didn’t mind the event being held in January. They said there wasn’t much to do in Detroit during the winter.

Locals said in September that they have more options. The Charity Preview is a good competition.

Ford Executive Chairman William Clay Ford Jr. breaks out into laughter while at the Ford display at the North American International Auto Show Charity Preview at Huntington Place in Detroit, Michigan on September 16, 2022.

The senior pastor of Fellowship Chapel in Detroit, who leads the local NAACP branch, wore a black blazer and gold sequined pants.

He said that he was stepping into the future with all the electric cars.

He stated that the future is now. I’m seeing a lot of innovations.

The charity preview was a place to spy cars and old friends. He said it was necessary after three years of a Pandemic.
