Dream Cruise Underway!
There is nothing in the world like the Woodward Dream Cruise in the suburbs of Detroit. Every year, 40,000 classic cars cruise the strip on the day of the cruise. 1.7 million people attend. And, the big three (plus many other companies) join in the fun. Chrysler even builds a limited edition PT every year (the Dream Cruiser) to mark the event. It's happening on Saturday, but already the street is jammed at night with classics. I went last night in my Crossfire. I saw a few other Crossfires, along with many beautiful old muscle cars, a few vintage sports cars, and even a handful of recent Ferraris. It's really fun to see the different tastes and choices that people have in their love of automobiles. I even saw one particularly unusual hot rod - an old milk or delivery truck that had a chopped top, dropped suspension, and beautiful silver and flame paint job. It had wide rear tires, a great V8 burble, and was just about the coolest thing imaginable.
