You must me talking about the Woodward cruise, the mother of all cruises. We get there early and make a couple passes from end to end then settle in near the Mopar display and do lots of walking. Then in the evening make our way up to Pontiac where it gets pretty wild. I absolutly love the Woodward cruise...cant wait for August.

I grew up in Waterford and spent a lot of time on Woodward Ave in my youth. It's amazing to see how it has grown since I moved to Florida 15 years ago.

Looks like a lot of fun. That's a nasty chopped CHevy II wagon. And a modified Pacer...

The Pacer has nasty sounding Chevy LS engine and won an episode of Pinks All Out.

Lived in Roseville for a time.....Favorite hang outs were Susy Q's on 11 and Gratiot and Big Boys at 14 and Gratiot...occasionally would get over to Woodward but not often....The Woodward cruise has gotten to be almost too big.....jmo......

We should see more rods actually being driven and used. When I moved to California in the late '70's I thought I would be seeing hot rods on every corner. Never saw one in daily use. Same here in Florida now, rarely if ever see one.

Me, I drove mine every day, to work, the grocery store, etc. Gonna do the same thing when the new T is running.

Thanks for posting that, looks like a nice lil Tudor.

It would definitely be cool to see more old school hotrods running around everyday!! Here in NW Arkansas they are more prevalent than other places I've lived, but they're getting scarce again. My buddies and I are attempting to remedy that situation. You can see my ole 48' sitting out front of the Police Dept (work) by a bunch of cruisers five nights a week.

Could it be we see less hotrods because of the way many are registered and insured . Many have restrictions on their use placed upon them by the insurance companiies and by the type of registrations issued by the DMV's . Plus the never ending road repairs , the heavy traffic , less friendly LEO's , ignorant drivers , ignorant 18 wheeler drivers ' The highways are not the fun places they used to be . Just sayin

Maybe cheating a little here, buts its definetly in traffic. This was last summer at the Telegraph Cruise in metro Detroit. The best cruises in the country happen in the Detroit area. And I have to say the local police do an incredible job of allowing us to have fun and bend the rules while keeping things in control.

That is cool of the Police to ease up. Must be something to do with being where cars are made or something. Around here, they want to charge you $35 per foot of rubber for destroying public property. Sheesh. Even where the cruises are in parking lots it is considered reckless driving or some such nonsense. Good thing there is a dragstrip a couple miles away. [cl

This is a small custom shop that specializes in NSX's. Its the owners car and makes 750hp. Just seems strange to be buried in snow.

Weird that the garage for that car is only a foot or so long....Wonder why that is??

Snapped this on the way home from work yesterday..had mixed feelings about it, most of me just wanted to take it home and build a cool rat out of it, the other smaller part of me just felt sorry for the poor old Chevy that was draggin it home..

So are ya gonna buy it? It's a rarity to see any of those box cars around here - they didn't survive the salt well.
