In 1978, David E. Davis Jr. single-handedly made Ann Arbor a center of automotive publishing when he moved Car and Driver from Manhattan to an office in Pittsfield Township. By the time he quit eight years later, he'd built C/D into the best-selling car magazine in America. He founded Automobile Magazine here a few months later.
