As in recent years, Dodge will have a strong presences at the Woodward Dream Cruise, as will its Chrysler, Jeep, Ram, FIAT and Mopar siblings. Both heritage and new rides will be well-represented.
Like many amazing, annual automotive events, the Woodward Dream Cruise has grown, from its humble, one-day 1995 beginnings to the nearly week-long event that it is today. Right now, expect to see people gathering along Woodward Avenue, staking their claim to prime viewing spots with folding chairs and pop-up tents, to watch the early cruisers who just can’t wait for Saturday.
Of course, FCA will be there, up and down Woodward, throughout much of the week. As you get your calendar set for one of the most glorious weeks of the year, here are six items you can pencil in – whether you’ll be in metro Detroit or not:
