Saw some cars in manufacturers' camoflauge a couple of days ago

I spotted these cars wearing manufacturer's plates and camo a few days ago.  I'm sure its a common site around Detroit, but I have never seen them and thought it was cool so I figured I would share. 

I 'm pretty sure they are Dodge products because that's what the rest of cars in their caravan were.

Look to be some boring SUV/mini-van/crossover POS and some kind of sweet looking sedan.  They have to be due for a new Charger any time...wonder if that is what you have spied?

Those pics are cool, but like you said, I used to see stuff like that all over Detroit and NW Ohio. Years ago we saw a prototype Beretta at a truckstop on it's way back to MI with a manufacturer plate on it and when we asked the driver about it he shyly said, "Yeah, it's a Chevy" and quickly jumped in and drove off. It is cool when you run across "spy cars" out in traffic though!! thanks for the pics!!!

In early '04, I remember cruising on the interstate, in MI, and the prototype '05 Mustang was toying around the big truck. It was pretty cool to see it.
