Maverick/Comet Brigade at Woodward dream cruise August 16 and unoffically 8-15&17

The Woodward Dream Cruise | Presented by EATON | Classic Cars, Hot Rods, Muscl

The cruise is officially on Saturday Aug 16. But there are thousands of cruisers on Friday night the 15 and on Sunday the 17. Check out the web site link above.

The Woodward Dream Cruise has over 1 million visitors and 40,000 classic cars, street rods, custom cars, special interest cars and muscle cars. It is in the cushy suburbs of Detroit (north of 8 mile to Pontiac) about 16 miles of cruising. The heart of it is in Royal Oak, the funnest city on the Avenue. Woodward is divided with turn arounds and is 4 or 5 lanes wide North and South.

There are special rules for classic cars (certain lanes) and lanes for regular cars. It is a great time and a huge party. Lots of music and exhibits. Maybe we all bring those 14 channel VHF radio's that cost $20 to keep the brigade in line. For those around on Sunday we can go to a nearby track if interested in getting some time slips.

I offer myself to orgainize a Maverick/Comet brigade, set up a meeting time and place and set up meal/refreshment breaks. If you are interested get me your email, and if we get 10+/- I will set it up.

Send me your info to gdemopesq@aol.com and I will start an address book for further information.

 

This is an amazing event. Been there twice.... Might try and make it this year again..

 

I try to go every year, and I hope to make it this year. Job might put a nix on it though. Awsome event!

 

Earl if you go let me know so we can get some Maverick guys cruising in numbers, We can set a time and place

 

Will do! Last year DaleMav74 and I cruised and had a great time. Hope to see more of us there this year. Take care,

 

Hmmmm, I could be persuaded to go, but it's always so busy.

 

Dave; keep it in mind. I would love to meet you, and cruise Woodward again. It is always a great time.

 

Hello Earl. Actually, you and I met up (Dale Mav77), and it was fun.

gdemopesq (Greg), thanks for the posting. I'll send you an e-mail and see if we can get a lot of Maverick and Comet people to show up.

 

i would love to do this but my car is still in pieces.....

 

one of the things on my list of "to do's".....cruised on Route66 this year, be may next year I can do Woodward.

 

I will be there, but without the Mav, since it's dead.

I'll be with my dad in his '74 Caprice convertible, at the far north end of Woodward. He's got a spot at a gas station there where he parks with some of his car club buddies. It's farther from the main action, but there is still plenty to see and at least the cars move up there!

 

Hello Mark.

This location on Woodward is great! I have gone to this area before. I believe that is a Mobil gas station, on Woodward and Square Lake, and there is a shopping center near the gas station that is a good place to park, and there is a stoplight where one can get a good look at the cars. I got the name and address from mapquest for the nearby shopping center. It is Kingwoods Plaza Shopping Center, at 43097 Woodward. Hope to see you and everybody else there.

 

It is a place to go to at least once (and then again and again...) Hope you see you at Somerset one of these times.

 

That sounds good. It'll be good to see you and the Maverick.

 

I plan on being in detroit friday at noon..where is a good spot to meet??
