Anyone going to be at the Woodward Dream Cruise this year?
Just found out that my part time work is having a meeting there Thursday-Sunday
So it's like being paid to go, what could be better
The Automotive Gods and Goddesses have smiled upon you.
I'll be there
If you come early on Wednesday evening, the Motor City Region has an event.

My wife and I will be there. Hanging out with the Kulwick family.

My son wants us to go and take the GTA because of the A/C and usually there are GTAs parked together on Mustang row.
How fast will the temp climb in that traffic with the A/C going?
Saturday it should be called the Woodward Dream Crawl. It is bumper to bumper as far as the eye can see. I'll be parked at the Bell Tire Store at Woodward and 13 mile on Saturday

The wife has an appointment on Weds, so I probably won't make it. Went last year to one of their shows, great cars with even greater people
We will be bringing the 2 w-code dragpack verts (my 69 purple shelby vert & the 70 brass tag mustang both fully loaded 1 of 1s ) & will be in ford area somewhere not sure yet then we will be taking both cars to the 50th cj norwalk meet the following weekend & they will be under the tent there.
Cars actually come out Monday. Wednesday and Thursday evenings may be the best as traffic still flows. After that it slows down and the weekend is a "crawl."
This is on my bucket list. Cruising as it was on Whittier Blvd in the 60s.
Oh there will be lots of cruising the 2 weeks prior.
And Brent I feel for ya hanging with the Kulwiks lol
We are locked and loaded heading for Detroit at 4:00am. It's my birthday weekend, so we always try and do something memorable, last year it was go to South Carolinia for the eclipse, then 2 days later in Lancaster Pa. for a ride in a Ford Tri-Motor, the year before it was drive to the Simone Museum and get up close and personal with the original Daytona Coupe, even got to park right next to it and see it drive. This year it's the Woodward Dream Cruise, I hear we might run into some rain on the way out, but that helps keep the dust down
Hope to see a lot of the Shelby products cruising around
This is what life should be about, driving around and doing things that are memorable

I work about a mile east of Woodward & 15 mile, by this afternoon (Thurs ) it will be a challange to get from the east side of Woodward to the west to go home !! Tomorrow will be even more frustrating, Saturday is nearly impossible to transverse E to W or W to E.
If the weather is good for Saturday the movement is measured in in/min not miles/hr :)

There appeared to be a burnout contest in the hotel parking lot last night

Steve,
Get us some espionage photos of what's under the car cover on stage. National Inquirer will pay you big $$$.
Steve,
I can not wait to hear all about your adventures.

Rumor says it's supposed to be a "new"Cobra Jet. Will find out tomorrow
Went to Dream Cruise Friday evening and most of all day Saturday. Drove the whole route twice and bailed out on the 3rd run when the car began to get a "little warm" in the bumper to bumper Dream Crawl. Didn't go into the "Mustang Alley" but drove past it, mustangs are far as the eye could see, what I didn't see were a lot of Shelby's, at least early Model Shelby's, I saw several replicas or clones, but only 3 what appeared to be original early cars, a possible blue 1968 GT350 convertible, a 1969 GT 500 Red, and a black/gold 66 Hertz car. I didn't get a chance to see any of the cars up close, but the there of them looked "real". I saw lots of the later model cars, they just look evil and sound even better, it is amazing what 50+ years of technology can bring to the table.
The place is an automotive overload, cars are parked everywhere, every shape and size and color imaginable and even some unimaginable.
The weather Friday was a little "damp" at times and of course when I drove back to the hotel I got caught in the rain.
A fun time and I'm hoping to go back next year
Thanks for the update Steve.
To say Woodward is big is an understatement, trying to find anything is tough because of the shear size and logistical nightmare of getting from point A to point B
Ford had displays up and down Woodward, in side streets, in parking lots, and this doesn't begin to cover all the private parking and displays.
Everyone should go at least once
