NORTHWOOD UNIVERSITY -- 450 of the world's most amazing vehicles are revving up their engines.
Today kicked off events at the 47th annual International Auto Show at Northwood University.
The theme is "Electrify the Drive, Sparking a Global Revolution."
It's put on by more than 900 university students.
It draws around 55,000 visitors a year.
Junior Northwood University student and NUIAS Domestic Chair Shannon Corby says, "What I'm getting out of it is the experience on how I can take things that I learn in the classroom and put that into good use."
The vehicles will be on display through Sunday.
