Countdown to NAIAS 2015 – Act One: The Gallery at MGM Grand Detroit Exotic vehicles, Wolfgang Puck, and high fashion set to launch event unlike any other

Detroit January 5, 2015; The North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) has announced the lineup of vehicles that will grace The Gallery at MGM Grand Detroit, the first of several official NAIAS events to be held in Detroit over a jam-packed two weeks.

“There’s not a collection of vehicles like this in one room anywhere else in the world,” said a beaming Scott LaRiche, chairman, NAIAS 2015. “This is an event unlike any other.”

And, though few in number, LaRiche said tickets are still available to Detroit’s most exclusive car event featuring more than $7 million worth of the industry’s most iconic, exotic and luxury vehicles.

LaRiche said funds will be generated through the sale of only 300 tickets at $1,000 per ticket. HFH, Detroit’s premier medical institution, has been a critical part of the community for generations, and will celebrate its centennial in 2015.
