This year's Woodward Dream Cruise was out of this world. No matter how
particular your tastes may be, you'll find more cars to admire than you
can reasonably deal with. Many cars stood out as one of a kind, but
only one was talked about the entire length of Woodward Ave.
This past weekend the Woodward Dream Cruise rolled into the Suburbs of
Detroit. Muscle, classic, antique, rare, exotic, new, old, shiny,
rusted, finished, in-progress... Any metaphor you could come up with to
describe a car, you'd find it either parked alongside or cruising up
and down the legendary road. Walking up and down the avenue gives
access to a never ending no-bounds car culture conversation, digested
in bits and pieces as you walk from group to group down the sidewalk.
Ford vs Chevy to American vs Imported- any and every classic battle was
being discussed by someone, somewhere, at any given time along the
route. And if it wasn't being discussed, it just may have been played
out in a quick stoplight race or burnout.
As I walked up and down from party to party and car to car, one
particular model seemed to find its way into the passing breeze more
than others. The new 2009 Corvette ZR1. Chevrolet was driving them up
and down Woodward all day. GM, which had rented out Athens Coney
Island, parked four more of them alongside a dozen classic cars from
the Century Cruise and a new 2010 Camaro RS.
Since the ZR1 is such a visually stunning car, here is an exclusive
gallery of the Supervette in and on Woodward Ave. Yes- that's Ron
Fellows driving the red one.
