DeVos Hall downtown was buzzing with excitement for this years annual Auto Show Charity Spectacular . Some may call it a glimpse into the future of advanced power trains, while others know it as the automotive prom. Which ever feasts your fancy, the Michigan International Auto Show’s gala was a spectacular event.
With over 35 manufacturers and 300 vehicles, it’s no surprise, that this years Charity Spectacular left attendees wanting more. Cocktails and champagne flowed, as strolling dinners, a silent auction, and entertainment reveled through the night.
The cars may be the big drawl, but the kids are the starts of this glitzy event. Supported by the Grand Rapids New Car Dealers Association, proceeds benefit the Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital Foundation.
From the beautiful 2013 Ford Mustang, to a budget savvy four door; the new Prius V, DeVos Hall danced with shiny automotive's that caught everyone eye. Back by popular demand are the hottest cars you and I could only dream of owning. It’s the Million Dollar Motorway, featuring Aston Martins, Rolls Royce, and Bentleys. If you’ve ever dreamt of “pimping your ride” the ‘Auto Show Super Cars’ feature over $20,000 of added options and accessories.
A live broadcast of the Charity Spectacular was hosted by me and Maranda on WOOD TV8 and WOTV 4 last night. Don’t miss the cool cars, festive fun, and upbeat glimpse into future mobility. The Michigan International Auto Show opens its doors to the public Thursday, January 26 th at 10am.
