Once again we made it through the automotive WET DREAM known fondly as the Woodward Dream Cruise.   Of the 25yrs,  I have missed one, due to the Sunbird's mechanical issues.   This years mind blowing array of vehicles and events lived up to the legend we are so fond of.  The weather was threatening, but held off Friday night til we were safely  home.  Same for Saturday with alot of heavy rain both nights, but beautiful weather through the day.  One of our family traditions when out cruisin, has been to spot as many plates from different states and country's as possible.  We had 13 states, with California gettin the nod.   Australia get's the nod for long distance, but many other countries are represented and have cars shipped here for the event as well.  All bringing HOME their American muscle/iron for the celebration. While a few imports are always seen in the mix, it's usually the exotic's more than the tuners.  The event started off last week, when Woodward was closed and Roadkill held their Street drag races at the M1 concourse and it ramped up bigger and better all week, day/night to the official kickoff Friday. Now every major magazine, your favorite TV shows and celeb's are also here.   Once you have attended....your hooked for life.  Drumroll.... We will start with edible  Pontiac's?????  Fiero's ,  kinda like Oreo's, wait...those are the tires.  Thankz Mrs Notallthere .  YUM   Picture quality might be off a bit.  We are at least an 1/8 mi from the downstream stoplight.   Cars are going anywhere from the 45 mph speedlimit to actual warp speed.

LMAO  they must be ordered from Canada of all places.

I took over 550 pic's.  My button finger has not yet recovered.  We of course hang out in PONTIAC  MICH.  One of 9 city's the cruise travels through.  Each has their own events, attractions, car shows, concerts.   It can't all be done in 2 days.   Pontiac is well known for letting DISPLAYS OF POWER go on everytime a light changes.  Massive burnouts sometimes in all 4 lanes at one time.  GAWD I LOVE THIS.

You may notice even the public transportation buses are decked out in Dream Cruise advertizing.  Yes you can hop the bus all the way down in AC comfort and cruise with stars...all the cars!

I love it buddy! Looks to have been a good time for all!! 

Does anyone have a wipe, I think I wet myself 😮!

Wish you could have been here.  Words N still pic's don't come close, unless you have been here before, you have never experienced anything like this.

Lets do some cruisin shots.  This guy is somehow related...... check his plate. I'm drivin Justa66.   We had a good laugh N stayed next to each other for quite awhile.   Local TV stations set up their stages for live broadcasting.  Local ABC does a 2 hr show that is broadcast to 80% of the USA??   Watch for it. Gm has its performance display. Ford has sponsored the event for the last couple years.  They have Mustang ally, taking over the downtown strip of one of the city's.  They also had a Bronco reunion of over 150 0f the 60's N 70"S Broncos.  Before the DC, they all met upstate (up North to us) at the Silver Lake sand dunes for fun and awesome photo shoots. Can't forget the HEMI boys N girls.  They have quite a display as well.

Keep watching this post.  I took over 550 pic's. Frosty must have close to that.  Maybe Notallthere will contribute.  Didn't catch up with IndymanJoe but he might have shots as well.  We have other members here from the Mitten......show us whatcha got!

Look close you can see the JURY logo on Lucy with the new rims/tires.

Okay I was not quite as snap happy as JUSTA, I only did around 300 photos. Here are some of mine.

Signs from my buddy Joe's stand - he's an official Dream Cruise stand too.

Sweet Indian head on a gorgeous '49 Pontiac.

A Hellcrate engine in a '68 GTX - very cool.

Loved the Hell crate in the cop car - the Dunkin' Donuts on the dash was a nice touch too.

Great looking '70 GTO convertible

Avanti

C7 Limo

Hot Pontiac!

Lead Sled

Donked '85 Buick LeSabre Limited. My parents had one - sans the donk.

JUSTA's Tiger is getting fresh with my two tigers. WTF? The little guy is saying "I don't know you!"

Lucy's identical stranger?

Sometimes you just want to bring the whole family out to Woodward!

I snitched one more cookie than JUSTA - even though he got his first!

They let anything on Woodward! I do mean anything!

Challenger Drag Pak car

Got Nitrous?

Nice Rolls Royce!

Not quite the American Family Truckster but close. We couldn't find the dog leash!

I love it when the engine is as high as the roof!

The "SH-Boom" flame throwers are legendary in the Detroit area. The '49 Cadillac and F-150 are two

The Motor City [Mercury] Marauders club

At the NCRS Corvette korral - an original Corvette fuelie!

This Challenger has no top !

 

How much would it cost for you to stand around in a hot dog and mustard costume all day?

Love the license plate

No notallthere - this is not my next car!

Psh, apparently! Who let that Toyota Rav4 in?  

Woodward is technically a state highway - M1. This means we can’t keep the riff-raff out!!!
