Car and Driver Magazine highlights the historic Alger House in November issue
From the November 2022 issue of Car and Driver.
Car and Driver, an American automotive enthusiast magazine, recently selected The War Memorial as its backdrop to capture photos of luxury sedans for its November 2022 issue.
Rich Ceppos’ article Luxury-Sedan Showdown: 2023 Genesis G90 vs. 2022 Lexus LS500 vs. 2022 Mercedes-Benz S500 dives into the details of luxury sedans and how these full-size flagships prove the traditional sedan is far from dead.
Car and Driver is owned by Hearst Magazines, who purchased prior owner Hachette Filipacchi Media U.S. in 2011. It was founded as Sports Cars Illustrated. The magazine is based in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
If you take a close look at the photos, you might even spot a few of Grosse Pointe’s favorite spots for coffee or shopping! Read more at the button below!
