The Fourth of July is always a special American tradition.
But 2026 is different.
This year marks the 250th anniversary of American independence, giving families, friends and communities across Michigan and the nation an extra-special reason to celebrate.
There will be parades, backyard barbecues, concerts, festivals, family gatherings, road trips and, of course, fireworks lighting up the night sky.
But here's another idea for celebrating America's 250th birthday:
Make your car part of the celebration.
If you're driving an ordinary vehicle to the Fourth of July festivities this year, people may notice it.
But if you're arriving in a beautifully styled European luxury automobile, a distinctive German import, a sleek convertible or a classic car from another era, there's a good chance people will notice you and your car - before the fireworks begin.
That's where Select Motors in Plymouth, Michigan, comes in.
For more than three decades, Select Motors has specialized in pre-owned luxury and European automobiles, with an inventory that includes brands such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Jaguar and Volvo, along with SUVs, sedans, convertibles and classic vehicles. The family-owned dealership has been serving Plymouth since 1989.
So this Fourth of July, why not celebrate 250 years of independence by exercising a little automotive independence of your own?
America was founded on the idea of independence.
That spirit can mean different things to different people.
For some, it means spending the holiday surrounded by family.
For others, it means taking a road trip, attending a parade or enjoying a backyard cookout.
For automotive enthusiasts, independence might mean refusing to drive the same ordinary vehicle as everyone else.
Maybe you've always wanted a Mercedes-Benz.
Maybe a BMW has been on your wish list.
Perhaps you're looking for a Jaguar, Volvo, Land Rover or another European import.
Maybe you've always dreamed about owning a classic.
Or maybe you simply want something different, something that makes you smile every time you walk out to the driveway.
That's the appeal of shopping for a distinctive pre-owned automobile.
You're not limited to whatever happens to be rolling off today's assembly lines.
You can explore different generations, different designs, different driving experiences and different personalities.
And at Select Motors, the inventory changes, giving shoppers another reason to keep looking.
The dealership currently features pre-owned European imports, luxury cars, SUVs and sedans, with inventory that can include Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Jaguar, Volvo, Land Rover, Audi and other specialty vehicles.
Think about your next Fourth of July gathering.
The grill is going.
The music is playing.
The flags are flying.
Family and friends are arriving.
Then you pull into the driveway.
Maybe you arrive in a clean, sophisticated European sedan.
Maybe it's a German luxury SUV.
Maybe you've got the top down on a summer-ready convertible.
Or maybe you pull up in a classic that looks like it belongs on a magazine cover.
Suddenly, someone says:
"What year is that?"
Another person asks:
"Is that a Mercedes?"
Someone else wants to know:
"Where did you find it?"
That's what makes a special automobile fun.
It becomes part of the occasion.
It becomes something people talk about.
And while the fireworks might get everyone's attention for several minutes that evening, a great-looking automobile can get people looking long before the sun goes down.
Why wait for the fireworks to turn heads?
Select Motors is located in Plymouth, making it convenient for drivers throughout southeastern Michigan to explore its inventory.
And that means shoppers don't have to be limited to Plymouth itself.
The dealership's reach naturally extends throughout the surrounding communities and major population centers within approximately 50 miles.
Detroit is approximately 22 miles from Plymouth, putting Select Motors within easy reach for Metro Detroit shoppers looking for something different in the used luxury market.
Detroit drivers can explore pre-owned European automobiles without having to travel across the state to find a specialty selection.
Whether you're searching for a luxury sedan, SUV, convertible or classic, the trip from Detroit to Plymouth can turn a routine car-shopping day into an automotive adventure.
And let's face it, driving a special car home from Plymouth to Detroit is a pretty good way to start the Fourth of July weekend.
Ann Arbor is roughly 15 miles from Plymouth, making it one of the closest major cities in the area.
Ann Arbor and the surrounding Washtenaw County area offer plenty of drivers who appreciate distinctive design, European automobiles and vehicles that stand apart from the ordinary.
If you're searching for a pre-owned Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Jaguar, Volvo or another European import, Plymouth is close enough to make the search worthwhile.
And if you find the right car?
Your drive back to Ann Arbor becomes part of the celebration.
Some of Select Motors' closest communities include Canton, Livonia and Westland.
Canton is approximately four miles from Plymouth, Livonia about six miles and Westland about five miles, making these communities particularly convenient for local shoppers.
For drivers in these communities, there's little reason not to stop by and see what's available.
You might discover the European luxury car you've been searching for, or something you didn't even know you wanted.
Novi is approximately eight miles from Plymouth, while Farmington Hills is about ten miles away.
These communities are also part of the broader Metro Detroit luxury-auto shopping market.
If you're looking for something beyond the typical dealership inventory, Select Motors' specialty in pre-owned European and luxury vehicles makes Plymouth worth putting on your shopping route.
And with summer driving season in full swing, the timing couldn't be better.
Dearborn is approximately 15 miles from Plymouth, while Southfield is roughly 15 miles away.
For shoppers throughout these communities, Select Motors offers another destination when you're searching for a used European luxury automobile.
Instead of simply shopping for transportation, consider shopping for a car that has personality.
A car that makes you want to take the long way home.
A car that looks just as good parked in the driveway as it does cruising down the road.
Troy is approximately 23 miles from Plymouth, while Royal Oak is approximately 19 miles away.
For shoppers coming from Oakland County and the surrounding communities, Plymouth can be a worthwhile destination for specialty used automobiles.

Warren is approximately 25 miles from Plymouth, while Sterling Heights is about 27 miles away.
That puts Select Motors within reach for thousands of drivers across Macomb County.
If you're searching for a used luxury automobile, don't automatically assume you have to shop only the biggest dealerships.
Sometimes the more interesting vehicles are found at specialty dealerships where inventory is curated with a particular kind of buyer in mind.
The 250th anniversary is all about history.
And there's no better way to appreciate history than with a classic automobile.
Classic cars have a way of making people stop.
They remind us how dramatically automotive design has changed, and how some designs remain timeless decades later.
Select Motors' inventory includes classic automobiles alongside its European luxury and import vehicles. Its current and recent inventory has included vehicles such as a 1986 Mercedes-Benz 420 SEL, illustrating the kind of older European automobile that can appeal to collectors and enthusiasts.
Imagine arriving at your Independence Day gathering in a classic Mercedes.
The fireworks haven't even started yet.
But everyone is already looking.
That's not a bad way to celebrate 250 years.
There's also something special about German automobiles.
Mercedes-Benz.
BMW.
Audi.
Volkswagen.
These brands have developed loyal followings among drivers who appreciate engineering, styling and driving character.
Select Motors specifically identifies Mercedes-Benz and BMW among its specialty vehicles and maintains a rotating selection of European imports.
The beauty of buying pre-owned is that you can explore vehicles from different generations and price points.
You may find a vehicle that offers the luxury and design you want without requiring you to buy brand new.
And because inventory changes, today's search can uncover something completely different from tomorrow's.
That's part of the fun.
The Fourth of July is also the perfect excuse to get behind the wheel.
Michigan summers were made for road trips.
Take the scenic route.
Drive to the lake.
Visit friends.
Head to a car show.
Explore a new town.
Or simply turn off the highway and see where the road takes you.
A special automobile makes those ordinary trips feel different.
A convertible with the top down.
A beautifully appointed European sedan.
A powerful German SUV.
A classic automobile that attracts attention everywhere it goes.
The destination is only part of the experience.
Sometimes the best part is the drive.
Of course, celebrating in style means celebrating responsibly.
The Fourth of July should be about creating memories, not creating problems.
If alcohol is part of your celebration, plan ahead. Choose a designated driver, use a rideshare service or arrange another safe way home.
Never drink and drive.
When using fireworks, follow local laws and safety instructions, maintain appropriate distances and keep children and pets away from dangerous areas.
And when you're driving your beautiful new-to-you automobile, remember that the goal is to enjoy the experience responsibly.
The best celebration is the one everyone gets home from safely.
Select Motors may call Plymouth home, but its customer base extends well beyond the city.
