Ford Reportedly Working On Successor To Shelby GT350
Hot on the heels of the 795-horsepower Dark Horse SC , rumor out of Dearborn suggests Ford is developing a dedicated spiritual successor to the dearly departed S550-generation Shelby GT350.

Detroit Institute of Arts to reopen two 'reimagined' galleries
As part of a transformation of the Detroit Institute of Arts' second-floor north wing, the reimagined Modern and Contemporary Art Galleries will debut on Sunday. The museum says it's the first comprehensive reinstallation of both collections in 20 years. The two permanent galleries showcase beloved classics, recently acquired objects and rarely displayed works. In all, the two spaces show more than 375 items. Detroit connections are highlighted in both galleries. “The opening of our new modern and contemporary art galleries marks the culmination of an inclusive and ambitious vision for how we present the art of our time,” said DIA leader Salvador Salort-Pons in a statement. He is the Mary Anne and Eugene A. Gargaro Jr. director, president, and CEO of the Detroit Institute of Arts. “Woven throughout these rooms are works by Detroit artists, placed alongside celebrated names from around the world, so that our audiences will see their own city, histories, and experiences reflected on our walls," he said. "These galleries affirm that Detroit is not only a place where great art is shown, but where it is made, and they will inspire generations to come to imagine their own place in that story.” The transformation of the
