Motor City
Auto industry capital
Motor City is a nickname for Detroit, Michigan, referring to its historical dominance in American automobile manufacturing.
The city was home to Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler—the "Big Three" automakers—and became synonymous with the U.S. auto industry: The Motor City has struggled since manufacturing jobs moved overseas.
