Father’s Day annually brings together families for a day of food, gifts and reminiscences with dear ol’ Dad.
This year, you can add a little eye candy to the mix.
The all-new 2013 SRT Viper GTS show car will be on display Sunday, June 17 at the 2012 EyesOn Design automotive exhibition at the Edsel & Eleanor Ford House, Grosse Pointe Shores, Mich., from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. ET. Tickets are $20.
Sunday’s event marks the first time the fifth-generation Viper will be on display for the Metro Detroit public to see and enjoy. The flagship model of Chrysler Group’s Street and Racing Technology brand will be on hand with the 1993 Dodge Viper GTS Concept, the 2000 Dodge Viper GTS that led Viper Team Oreca to victory at the 2000 24 Hours of Daytona, and the 2008 model that set a record on the track at Nürburgring, Germany.
“EyesOn Design is a Father’s Day tradition, not only for people in Michigan but also for attendees and car collectors all over America,” said Frank Valdez, general chairman of 2012 EyesOn Design. “The event has something not only for dad, but for the entire family.”
Regarded as one of the most important annual classic car events, more than 250 vehicles will be judged by designers on the basis of design merit. The event was founded with the support of long-time Chrysler Design Chief Tom Gale and his counterparts at General Motors and Ford.
Chrysler Group is proud to support the event and the cause behind it, the Detroit Institute of Ophthalmology. The DIO is an internationally recognized not-for-profit that accelerates the development of "artificial vision,” technology that will one day allow some visually impaired persons to regain vision to see the world around them, including seeing the design of automobiles.
