DETROIT DREAMIN'
The Woodward Dream Cruise, the world's largest one-day celebration of car
culture,
attracts more than one million visitors and 40,000 cars. For the 12th
time in 12
years, muscle cars, street rods, custom, collector and 'special
interest' vehicles
flocked the streets of Detroit - and neither rain nor high
gas prices deterred the
visitors for Dream Cruise 2006.
This mid-summer classic celebrates the heydays of the 'Fifties and 'Sixties when
Woodward was the heart and soul of American cruising. Combined with the music
and fashions of the era, the Woodward Dream Cruise celebrates the nostalgia of
bygone days in the cars that made them so special.
Cruisers and spectators drove along a 16-mile route of nine communities
including
Berkley, Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, Bloomfield Township, Ferndale,
Huntington
Woods, Pleasant Ridge, Pontiac and Royal Oak.
A picture is worth a thousand words, they say. There was plenty to take at
this year's
Dream Cruise, but Mark Dapoz decided
to concentrate on the most offbeat entries.
Here they are, sans words.
