Are there any schduled car and truck shows in the area that anyone knows of during the summer.
Thanks for your time.

Good Morning,
What kind of plans or how far are you planning on going? What type of things are you interested in?
The Ford Plant tour is pretty cool, make sure you come on a Friday or Monday, the plant has not been running on the weekend. Kind of lame walking a Production line and not one person working.
The Henry Ford Museum, that is an all day event, there is a lot to see, and as for Greenfield Villiage, add another day. They also have a Imax theater, I have not seen this yet.
Are you Bringing kids? If not, Detroit has a GREAT night life, lost of bars, the casino's, everything is with in walking distance, parking is a bit of a pain for anything or 7'. And YES, it is safe in the center of Detroit for walking and bar hopping.
My favorite part of Michigan though is further North, we have 101 waterfallls ( some are only a foot high
) Sleeping beer dunes is cool, Traverse City, is a cool little town. William already listed Frankenmuth, What are you looking to do? Hell, I can even give you directions to place where you can sit in a cage with your family and take you picture with a 1 year old bear.
