Where is Woodward? Thanks EZMONEY

LTs SSR · 01-29-2008, 06:54 PM

The Woodward Dream Cruise is an AMAZING event just outside of Detroit... The sheer size of it simply is hard to comprehend!! I think its something like 12 or 13 miles of every car, truck or vehicle ever made! Our lovely Hotrodgirl host the SSRFanatics that come out for the event... Do a search on Woodward & see for yourself!!

Deb Please put me down on your list again for this years Dream Cruise 08.

I was very fortunate to have been able to go to the 2004 WDC - and every year since 2004. I first went to Chevy's SSR introduction of the new 2005 MY 6.0 L at Coney Island in Athens where the Woodward Dream Cruise & Chevrolet SSR Events took place.... in the summer of 04! Oh what a great time every year!

4 Lanes UP and 4 Lanes BACK! You will NEVER see more cars than at the WDC events. Over 40,000 hot rods and antiques along with over 1.7 million people that line up along the special events approx 11 miles along Woodward Ave.
