At M1 Concourse, over 600 cars in 13 classes including hot rods, race cars, muscle cars and cruisers will be on display and compete in exhibition competitions. This year, kids will get in free, live music is expected and there will be shaded seating for 1,000 guests. In addition, there will be a live reveal about noon of Mobsteel's Lincoln Coupe. Mobsteel is a design company that focuses on manufacturing automotive aftermarket products. We just spent the entire day in and around the Motor City enjoying the automotive sights and sounds of the Woodward Dream Cruise. And if you couldn't be there this year in person, perhaps our galleries from this year's festivities are the next best thing.

The parade runs northbound along the entire course of Woodward Ave. from Ferndale to Pontiac. Those not participating in the parade are asked to avoid the right two lanes near the curbs. They come out to cruise Woodward every year for the Dream Cruise with this '46 Chevy truck. We love to see all the great family moments happening along the avenue today. During the Woodward Dream Cruise, the SMART Shuttle will be free for everyone who wants to ride. People can catch a ride at any of the SMART RED or FAST bus stops from Eight Mile Road to Pontiac.

The Performance Park Classic Car Show will continue from 8 a.m. Mustang Alley will take place with Ford Motor Co. from 10 a.m. With the entrance starting at Hilton Road at East Nine Mile Road. Pre-registration is closed but vehicles not pre-registered can enter at about 10 a.m.
Street parking is another option but take note of time restrictions and costs to avoid tickets and/or towing. Busses will also run their normal routes, except for those on the parade route which will run on a detour. These busses will still pass by and stop in the communities along the parade route, but will avoid Woodward Avenue.
A team of amateur radio operators also serve as additional “eyes and ears” of law enforcement officials along the Cruise route. The Woodward Dream Cruise is an alcohol-free, family-oriented event. As public safety is paramount, cruisers are asked to obey all rules of the road.
Hot rod, custom, cruiser, and muscle car show displayed around the M1 Circuit. Featured classes include the 70th anniversary of Corvette, MOPAR, and Ramchargers 65th anniversary. There are no fees to cruise in the event or to watch. Anyone can participate although, those not driving a classic car are asked to stay out of the two right lanes nearest to the curb. Attendees can hop on a free SMART dream cruise shuttle from 8 Mile to Pontiac.
Over 1.5 million vintage enthusiasts from around the world attend the annual procession as cars honk and drive down Woodward Ave. The Cruise brings about 1.5 million people and 40,000 classic cars to the area each summer. Starting as early as Thursday, car enthusiasts will crowd Woodward and surrounding communities to showcase their wheels. Parking will be very limited in communities along the parade route, so allow for some extra time and patience. Parking can be found at lots and structures in Ferndale, Royal Oak, Birmingham and Pontiac, space permitting.
