AMERICAN SPEED TO HOST DETROIT OPEN HOUSE
If you’ve never seen how they manufacture car bodies and show cars in Detroit, your once-in-a-lifetime chance is coming up fast. American Speed, manufacturer of the all-steel Speed 33 convertible body, is opening its doors and you and your friends are invited to come for a visit.
The big event is scheduled to take place on Saturday, May 10th, so get online now and start shopping for those plane tickets. Your “Day in Detroit” proves to be one you’ll never forget. In addition to a behind-the scenes look at how the Speed 33 bodies are stamped, fixtured, and assembled, your full day of activities includes an up-close look at how a flat piece of metal becomes a quarter panel and how the subframe is formed. But that’s just the beginning.
This day will give you a real look at Detroit car-building, and will include tours of two close neighbors of American Speed, actual Detroit car-building facilities that produce OEM showcars and a new amphibious sports car. Some big-name magazine editors and well-known car builders will also be on hand. Food will be included, so you won’t need to pack a lunch, just your camera. The day will move along at a rapid pace, and you’ll go home with plenty to tell about.
American Speed has continued to hone its assembly processes and is now filling orders within a timeframe of just 3-4 months, making it one of the fastest deliveries of a steel body anywhere. The company now offers a full line of complimentary components that include roll pans and hoods for its cars, and full rollers are available. The company’s all-new full-fendered demo car will be shown throughout the country this season.
