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 10^th, 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.
