Only in Motown…..
The Woodward Dream Cruise is a classic car event held annually on the third Saturday of August. The WDC Event spans much of Woodward Ave. from Pontiac through Ferndale in Oakland County, Michigan, all the way to the State Fair Grounds inside the Detroit city limits, just south of 8 Mile Rd. The event is a tribute to classic cruisers, and attracts nearly two million people and upwards of 40,000 muscle cars, street rods, custom, collector and special interest vehicles each year. These are the types of cars that were available and prevalent during the 1950s, 60s and early 70s prior to the OPEC oil embargo, which led to the Corporate Average Fuel Economy regulations of 1975 and the proliferation of more fuel-efficient, smaller, and less powerful automobiles. In addition, the Woodward Dream Cruise also welcomes cruisers of all models whose owners have either scrupulously maintained, “souped-up”, or customized their car to create a unique vehicle or statement.
A reported 1.2 Million people enjoyed the Woodward Dream Cruise! The event is sooo much fun!!
