At the 2017 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Dodge revved up excitement by showcasing a vibrant lineup of high-performance vehicles that scream, “I’m fast, and I know it!” Attendees were treated to a visual feast of colorful cars and got to indulge their inner speed demon with a virtual ride in a Hellcat Challenger. It’s safe to say Dodge made its point clear: they’re not just showing up, they’re showing off, and they’re doing it with flair and horsepower to spare!
“There’s a place in America where you can almost see Russia,” quips Kevin Yon, setting the stage for a quirky revelation: “which means there’s a place in Russia where you can definitely HEAR America.” The ad wraps up with the cheeky tagline, “Domestic.

Get ready to feast your eyes on the legendary 1969 Dodge Super Bee! Born from the Chrysler “B” body platform, this mid-size marvel took a page from the Roadrunner and Charger playbook, cruising onto the scene with an irresistible swagger. In ’68, it strutted as a pillared hardtop, but by ’69, it went topless—pillarless, that is! Under the hood, you’ll find engines that roar louder than a rock concert: the 383 Magnum, 440 Six Pack, or the mighty 426 Hemi. Our thanks to Gateway Classic Cars for these drool-worthy images!
At the Detroit Auto Show, a Roseville mom transformed into a futuristic explorer, courtesy of Ford’s Virtual Reality Express.

It’s a brave new world of transportation—just don’t ask about the in-flight snacks yet!
