Gallery - Woodward Dream Cruise 2013

Growing from a small fundraiser 18 years ago, the Woodward Dream Cruise is now said to be the largest one-day automotive event in the world. Unlike any other event I've attended, this cruise covers a 16-mile stretch of road - with onlookers kicking it roadside while cruisers go up and down the 8-lane wide Woodward Avenue between 8-mile Road and the loop at Oakland Avenue in Detroit, Michigan. Being from California, I'm used to car events including many custom cars and roadsters...the Woodward Dream Cruise showed a different slice of American Car Culture. Detroit is called Motor City for a reason, with a high percentage of muscle cars - both in well-kept original condition as well as modified to drag race. This event is too big to describe, so I'll just let the pictures show the story. Check back at Driving Line soon, as I'll be sharing a closer look at some of my favorite cars found at Woodward Dream Cruise. If you've never been, add it to your calendar for 2014! -Kristin Cline
