Troy Traffic Jam 2025 – Car Heaven in Michigan

From a 1913 Model T speedster with period race gear to Chrysler’s mythic Turbine Car, then a 675hp widebody C8, an Art-Deco ’31 Imperial CG, and a modern-meets-vintage Backdraft Cobra—this show field is WILD. Shot on location at Columbia Center in Troy, MI, the Troy Traffic Jam raises funds for the Troy Historical Society and brings out some of the most interesting metal anywhere in the Midwest.

👀 What you’ll see:

Unrestored 1913 Ford Model T Speedster: 16-valve head, Harry Miller carb, Bosch magneto, Columbia catalog body, MotoMeter, and the engine peeking through the firewall.

1963 Chrysler Turbine Car: survivor paint, finned “turbine” tires, the infamous “shame box” reset, giant air intake, regenerators, and stories from the public loaner program (55 built, 9 survivors).

Concept 8 Stingray by Nike Auto Sport Design: Z06-width bodywork, 335/285 tires, stroker LT2 (~675 hp / 625 lb-ft), Brembo GT brakes, tuning around Global B electronics, ~2.8s 0–60.

1931 Chrysler Imperial CG Club Sedan: straight-eight (~125 hp), thermostatic grille louvers, long-hood elegance, suicide doors, and that winged mascot.

Backdraft Cobra deep-dive: classic looks, Gen-3 5.0 Coyote + 10-speed auto, knock-offs, side pipes, quick-jacks, GPS speedo, heated seats, and “why one roll bar?”
