What:

"The Drive Home II: The Heritage Run" is celebrating America's automotive heritage across six states in the Northeastern U.S. during a 12-day, 2,150-mile winter journey to the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit, and holding auto-themed get-togethers in many cities along the way.




The group will begin their final leg of the journey the morning of January 6 at a Cars and Coffee event at Lincoln of Troy presented by NAIAS, followed by a caravan of collector cars down the famed Woodward Avenue – complete with a police escort and cruise-in at Cadillac Square. The Drive Home II vehicles will then be put on display at NAIAS for press and consumer days.
