Sorry guys, I do this every year, but
The Woodward Dream Cruise is running now, for any fan of high performance cars, and especially classic Muscle Cars, this is the place to be, either in person or online.
Woodward Avenue was the "unofficial" proving grounds for the American Muscle Car.
I cruised Woodward a lot in the Summer of '69, most notably in the #2 early production Daytona Charger, and most frequently in Dad's 1966 Impala SS convertible.
The graphic from this years T shirt:
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

That is one cruiseI would love to go to, You are one lucky man to have got to cruise in a real Daytona on Woodward ave. You wouldn't have any pics of the car would you?
I have been collecting cars for the last 30 years, will post some pics later this week, but love all makes.
have had almost 200 cars since I was 16 some very rare but being young and stupid didn't care.
heres a list of my cars, older ones at least.
32 Buick 66s rumble seat coupe
40 Packard 180 5 passenger touring, was the show car for Packard in the 39 worlds fair in San Francisco
41 Packard 120 business coupe
48 Lincoln convertible coupe
69 Daytona clone
70 Challenger R/T 440 6 pack
rest of them are all newer not worth a mention.

Here's my dream cruise. 1970 Chevelle 454 SS rag top! 
You can take Detroit out of the boy, but you can't take the man out of Detroit!... or something like that.
To the paranoid people who check behind shower curtains for murderers:
if you find one...what's your plan?

Regrettably, no pictures. My friend's dad was the Manager of the Chrysler Clairepoint plant, where a lot of custom and pre production work was done. #2 was a red 440 4V car with a Tourque Flite transmission. The wing was body color and the nose showed a lot of body filler fitting. The dash carried a brass plaque identifying it as #2.
About five years ago Charger Fan sent me a link to a Forum where there was some discussion about who might own that car "today".
I gotta say, it turned a lot of heads, it was very likely the first sighting of this monster on Woodward
The Dream Cruise is amazing, there are people who ship their cars in from overseas to participate, right next to "bondo beaters".
And since someone already posted his "Dream Cruiser", anyone else want to jump in?

Boy, would I ever have loved to witness that scene back then!
I like too many cars to attempt to only pick ONE "Dream Cruiser", so I'll go with what I already have...my dream would be to finally restore my '70 Charger & DRIVE it! I'm on the fence about a color change from it's existing blue, but if I do, it's gonna look like this.
