Hoon Of The Day: Four Minutes Of Woodward Dream Cruise Burnouts
Up in Pontiac at the Woodward Avenue loop, there's one spot which is guaranteed to make the ladies scream and the fellas cream — and our tipster John Harmon rocked it for us today, putting four minutes of burnouts together with a little bit of Steve Miller's "Livin' in the USA." But remember, it's all fun and games until the police show up. At least you know one of us is gonna be mad partial to the Spartan flags! More » -

2006 Woodward Dream Cruise: Cobra Commander'd Be Proud — Snakes On A Dream Cruise
Downtown Birmingham was chock full of fun during this weekends Woodward Dream Cruise, whether it was two of the Big Three getting their exnibitionist shwerve on or just sitting back with burgers from Hunter House — fun was had by the tens of thousands. But if you looked closely between the two tall apartment buildings towering over the corner of Woodward Ave. and South Old Woodward, you'd see something really cool — the Great Lakes Cobra Club annual meet, one of the largest showings of Cobras anywhere with usually over 80 replicas in attendance — and even a couple of real ones! Although this year the morning rain, as well as a lack of parking, cut numbers to around 60, it was still an impressive sight seeing all of Carroll Shelby's Ford V8 masterpieces sitting there in the summer sun of the late afternoon.

2006 Woodward Dream Cruise: Where's The Donuts, BMW Isetta?
Well, another year — another Dream Cruise is over. But fear not, fans of the classic cruisers, we got so much fun stuff from this years Dream Cruise, we're gonna be dropping it like it's hot over the next day or two just to remind you of all the fun we had. Like spotting this modified BMW Isetta. And although we didn't get to see it happen, we just know this bad boy was built to make donuts. So if you happen to be the owner of this funny car, let us know the next time you want to rip loose in a Kroger parking lot. [Thanks to our Woodward-based bad-ass, wohho on this one!] More » -

2006 Woodward Dream Cruise: The Chrysler Group Wants To Ram The Dream Cruise Down Your Throat
We covered the FoMoCo and General Dream Cruise exhibits yesterday, and now it's the German-American hybrids turn — and they want to prove, through sheer will — that they're the biggest and baddest of them all. Aww...isn't that just adorable? See for yourself. Of course if you decide not to look, Dodge has told us the "Raminator" will kill this small boy. Feel free to let his blood be on your hands.

2006 Woodward Dream Cruise: Wert'll Give You $10 To Touch Your Ferrari Enzo
Yet again, it's not just the classic cars that hit up the Woodward Dream Cruise — sometimes it's the insta-classics — like the Ferrari Enzo (no Stefan, you can't ride in it — we don't care what Dieter said). This million-dollar plus Ferrari is one of only two in Michigan, with the other belonging to former Red Wing Sergei Federov (he still owns a house here) — and we were just lucky enough our camera-stud James was quick enough to notice it while we were typing furiously away on our laptop at the Caribou Coffee between 13 Mile and 14 Mile on Woodward. All we've got to say to Tom Celani, owner of Motor City Harley-Davidson and this gorgeous Ferrari is, dude, just let us touch it. Please. More » -

2006 Woodward Dream Cruise: Jay Leno's Tank Car Takes Woodward Avenue By Storm
The rains couldn't keep Leno's Tank Car from exhibition at the Woodward Dream Cruise, but the boys at Bosch were kind enough to drop a tent over it to make sure no damage would be done to the one-of-a-kind engine on wheels by the not-so-much torrential downpour. If y'all remember, his 9500-lb. hot rod's humongous V12 tank engine (1792 ci) was merely naturally aspirated, so Gale Banks and the boys at Bosch decided to fit the sucker with some twin-turbo action. The resulting 1600 hp and 3000 lb.-ft torque is nothing less than epic — but we'll let you judge that for yourself. More » -

The Muscle Car Wars Continue! Top Chevy Man Ed Peper Thinks Beating Dodge, Ford To Market With The Camaro's "Very Important"
At the little GM soiree at Athens Coney Island last night, we got a few moments with Chevy's general manager, Ed Peper. We had only one question for Ed — how important is it gonna be to beat the competition to market with the Camaro? Ed had one answer — "It's very important." So what's that mean for the Camaro-loving enthusiast crowd? We don't know 'cause our camera ran out of memory. D'oh! More » -

2006 Woodward Dream Cruise: Danger! Blogging While Wet!
We've walked, like the postal service, through rain and wind and a lack of adequate sidewalks, down Woodward Avenue from where we filed our initial reports at the Birmingham Starbucks at 15 Mile. So what's happened in the interim two hours? Two things. The first is that it's fucking wet outside. The second thing is that although we're inside the fine Caribou Coffee between 14 Mile and 13 Mile, we're fucking soaked. As we made the one and a half-mile trek down Woodward Avenue, the rain didn't let up (it actually intensified from spittin' to heavy drizzle) and there was only one thought going through our minds — when are we gonna see the hot chicks on hot classic cars.

2006 Woodward Dream Cruise: GM's Rick Wagoner Talks Dream Cruise
We had the opportunity to hit up a GM event for a short while last night at Athens Coney Island right along M-1 in Royal Oak. We've got a few things we'll be showing you in a bit — but what we've got spun up above so far is all about Rick. You see, GM's Rick Wagoner knows all about the Dream Cruise — and according to him — GM knows all about using the Dream Cruise as a marketing tool. That makes sense...it's such a lovely time to talk about cars built by GM, Ford and Chrysler over the past 40 years — a chance to remind people of all of those positive experiences they had back in the day when cars drove big, fins were even bigger...really, any way possible they can find to tug on heart strings a bit to push sales. Both GM and Chrysler seem to understand this — they're pushing the msucle cars baby, and they want the two million plus attendees to know it (in case you're wondering what we're talking about — check through all of our coverage of this week's beginning of the muscle car wars). But we feel like one of the automakers isn't playing along...which one is it? Wait...it's on the tip of our tongue...it's... More » -

2006 Woodward Dream Cruise: Cruising Come Rain Or Shine, But Parking? That's A Toughie!
The two biggest issues at any Dream Cruise are always the potential for rain and the potential inability to find parking. That's one of the reasons we were up at 5:00 AM to hit the streets and byways looking for spots to ditch our ride and make a walking cruise down Woodward Avenue. Just our luck, the rain decided to get up early too. But that's allright, that's ok — thanks to a tip from one Jalopnik reader late in the evening last night — we've got some covered parking, which is where we took the above pic of Woodward Avenue, drenched in rain. It only took us driving through three police barricades to get there, and the use of reasons like "Dream Cruise host committee" (lie), "Press" (obvious lie), "Grand Marshall's little brother" (come on now!). Despite our blatant fibbing, we got into this little alcove of dryness without more sweat than we usually do. However... More » -

Police, Help! GM's Trying To Eat Athens Coney Island!
We're only kidding, kiddies — please stop crying — GM's really not attacking the Woodward Dream Cruise — that's just "Camp GM" over at the Athens Coney Island, and try as we might, the security would not and could not let us into this Woodward Avenue hot-spot. But fear not friends — there was more to see from the hulking General from Detwa — like the "triangle," the triangular-shaped patch of land next to the "555 building" in Birmingham — where Chevy's going to be holding court from now until the sun goes down tomorrow night.

Ford's Big Bold Woodward Dream Cruise Exhibit
We here at Jalopnik are all about giving our readers the inside story — no matter how silly that inside story is — and of course we're all about sending Wert running around like a crazed squirrel searching for his nuts. That's why we've gone and sent Wert down to downtown Birmingham, and set back a few thousand feet from Woodward Avenue, to snap pictures of the boldly erected FoMoCo exhibit for you to feast your eyes upon — all before the estimated two million car-crazed lunatics planning to attend this years crazy car cruise get a chance to do the same.

2006 Woodward Dream Pre-Cruise: Wert's Got A Full Tank Of Gas, A Half Pack Of Starbucks DoubleShot, and He's Wearing Sunglasses. Hit It!
So we realized last night that Wert's gonna have to get some sleep, and last night he tried. Unfortunately, when he's ingested four Starbucks doppio espressos in a 6 hour period — it's much more difficult than just "going to sleep." And no, the liquor didn't help much either. But, since it worked so well for him yesterday — we've dropped a couple of double shots down our Detroit man's throat — and sent him out to do his task, because there's now only 24 hours to go before the big Cruise starts. So with that, here's his last daily pre-Cruise update before the big day. Remember that you can check out where he's been and keep up with all that's to come by checking out the mini-site we've set up for the live-blogging tomorrow of the world's largest one-day classic cruise in the world, or if you'd prefer, here's a tech-friendly feed for your fave reader.

Rub One Off Over The Muscle Car Wars: The Camaro Takes A Wish

2006 Woodward Dream Pre-Cruise: Pimp My Mustang With TeeVee!
You get a lot of customs running up and down Woodward Avenue during the Dream Cruise, and even now as we're in "Pre-Cruise" mode — so you're apt to see some pretty snazzy shtuff. But this could quite possibly be the weirdest set of amenities we've seen out of a Dearborn-produced car. Because although we've seen LCD's dropped into just about every part of a car — this is the first time we've seen them in a wheel well. To us, this seems rather — err — pointless?

2006 Woodward Dream Pre-Cruise: Royal Oak Police Are Still Teh Suck
Ok, so what have we learned so far at this years Woodward Dream Cruise — or at least the week leading up to it? Hunter House has, by far, the best slider burgers in the known universe. We've also learned not to jaywalk — or at the very least, don't get a ticket for jaywalking in Royal Oak (by the way, still looking for extra legal advice here — any takers?). We've also learned there's a major-league difference between "rat rods" and "hot rods." More than anything though, we've learned the importance of never underestimating the ability for people to organically create enthusiast groups around just about any car possible, as you'll see later today when we profile the Michigan Turbo Buick Club. But for the meantime, kick back in your lawn chair and check out Wert's latest update from the side of M-1, aka, Woodward Avenue: More »

2006 Woodward Dream Pre-Cruise: What's The Difference Between A "Rat Rod" And A "Hot Rod?"
Sometime before we finished up our evening in the company of one of Royal Oak, Michigan's finest , we made a new friend by the name of Bill Jagenow from Brothers Custom Automotive. Jagenow's driving what to one of our untrained eyes is a "rat rod," a term that came from an article written in Hot Rod Magazine by Gray Baskerville about cars painted in primer. And although a lot of rat rodders do not consider their cars to be rats, but actually "hot rods" we've yet to meet someone who so vociferously argues the point as Bill here does. Check... More » -

2006 Woodward Dream Pre-Cruise: The Ford GTX-1 Proves Cruising Ain't Just For "Classics"
We've always said the Dream Cruise isn't just for "old" classic cars. Sometimes a classic car is classic because there's only one like it, and it makes a man want to drop to his knees and weep. We were lucky enough to find something cruising Woodward Avenue last night with a "wow" factor even we couldn't contain. It's a Ford GTX-1, the convertible variant of the Ford GT. The supercar sans roof was a specialty vehicle created specifically for the 2005 SEMA convention. And although you may be able to get a Genaddi Design chop-top of your own for $38,000 (on top of the base Ford GT price of just shy of $150,000 — get it fast, supplies are limited!) — we can gurantee you won't be getting one quite like this. That's because the GTX-1 you see above is the actual concept car built by the boys at Genaddi for the SEMA show. That alone gives it an estimated street value of upwards of a cool million. And lookie here, we even got to see it fill up at the Shell station — and with a capless fuel filler at that! And no, Bill Jagenow of Brothers Custom Automotive is not a liar. More » -

2006 Woodward Dream Pre-Cruise: Royal Oak Police Show Us What Not To Do On Woodward Avenue — Wert & Co. Get Jaywalking Tickets
Although yesterdays update was fairly run of the mill — despite the el Camino parked out front of Hunter House — now that the one-day Dream Cruise is officially un-officially becoming a one-week long Dream Cruise, things are starting to heat up on Woodward Avenue. But as you can see by the ticket over yonder, there are certain things you still shouldn't do — like jaywalk. Although we're not even for a moment going to admit to whether it was a fair cop on the part of the Royal Oak cop, we will say this — kids, don't jaywalk during the Dream Cruise — you could potentially put a motorcycle cop in the hospital if you're not careful, and find yourself on the receiving end of the ticket-wielding man (or woman). But — if any of our loyal Jalopnik readers happens to be a Metro Detroit attorney interested in helping a certain Jalopnik associate editor and a certain Jalopnik commenter (wohho, you know who you are) out of a fine-paying civil infraction pickle, by all means please feel free to drop us an e-mail.

2006 Woodward Dream Pre-Cruise: WTF, It's Only Tuesday!
So yesterday was quite possibly one of the most amazing sights we've ever seen on Woodward Avenue and it got us into thinking this will be one of the largest Woodward Dream Cruises we've ever seen. That's because, as you can see in the video above, even though it's 9:30 PM, all of Woodward Avenue's eight lanes are chock full o' classic cars and not-so-classic cars checking out the extremeness of it all on Metro Detroit's most storied of storied byways. Whether it was a "Michigan Santa Truck," or a classic Camino, Camaro or 'stang — or of course, you could be rockin' a 90's Land Rover — you just need to ignore the drunk boomers making out.

One, Two, Three, Four — Chevy Don't Want A Muscle Car War?
It's only day one of the muscle car wars, and already we're hearing about one of the pony-makers backing off. This is totally not what we wanted to hear as we get ready for the titans of Detroit to do battle like the Jets n' Sharks of old. To bring you up to speed, this morning the Chevy Camaro Dream Cruise trailer made an impromptu guest appearance and drive-by of a Chrysler PR event talking up a Dodge Challenger give-away promo. After taking that white-gloved slap, Chrysler's PR top dog Jason Vines dropped a grenade into the Chevy PR trenches this afternoon, reminding newly-deputized Chevy PR chief Terry Rhadigan that the Challengers made it to the event under their own power — and needed not the trailer seen carrying the Camaro of old and new. So of course we were expecting Terry to show his stuff, and drop a haymaker onto the German-American hybrid automaker. Hell, we would have settled for ignoring Vines all together and making a sneak attack on the Mustang-loving city of Dearborn to catch FoMoCo unawares. Instead... More »

If you've been following Wert's coverage so far of the hoopla leading up to the Woodward Dream Cruise, the biggest single-day automotive spectacular in the whole wide world, you'll know he's kinda been all over the place.

What's he waiting for? Why you, ya big silly. If you've got a classic, custom or "special" car and want us here at Jalopnik to run a profile on it, stop on by the Starbucks over at 13 Mile Rd and Woodward Avenue — he's been told to wait until 7:30 PM tonight — and he'll be there from 5 PM to 7:30 PM on Thursday too.

The Muscle Car Wars Are On! Chrysler's Vines Fires A Salvo At Chevy PR Newbie Rhadigan
Looks like this Muscle Car "cold war" just turned hot — and just in time for the world's largest single-day classic car cruise. To recap — earlier today at a Chrysler Group press event, the PR peeps from Chevy made a point of letting the Chrysler folks know that they were stepping on the Generals turf by driving their bowtied Camaro trailer past the event — almost goading the Chrysler Group into a West Side Story-like knife fight. And oh-ho-ho, it worked. The chief PR man from the German-American hybrid has stepped up to the plate with a comment, and he wants Chevy PR newbie Terry Rhadigan to know exactly where his little pony and Chevys little pony stand (or drive): More »

Who's Tweakin' Jason Vines And Challenging Dodge?
So our boy, Chrysler PR man extraordinaire, Jason Vines, was looking rather worried there behind the Dodge Challenger concept car at the PT Cruiser and Dodge Challenger press event this AM. At the time, we couldn't figure out exactly why — and although it seemed like he was looking at something over on Woodward Avenue we'd had too little caffeine to justify something as simple as turning around and looking. It wasn't until we were glancing through main-man-with-the-cam James LaMoreaux's photos a few minutes ago that we realized why he was wearing such an annoyed face.

2006 Woodward Dream Pre-Cruise: The 1956 Chevy Bel Air Nomad
We've left one Starbucks already this morning due to an ant infestation, and as we were on our way to a non-infested coffee shop / wifi spot to resume our bloggorhea-like coverage of the hoopla leading up to the 2006 Woodward Dream Cruise, we happened upon this little gem on the corner of 13 Mile Rd and Woodward Avenue. It's a beautiful restored 1956 Chevy Bel Air Nomad complete with an Edelbrock engine. Although the Nomad first appeared as a Corvette-based concept vehicle in 1954, the two-door wagon was assigned to the Bel Air series and given a unique body and trim specifically for the model. And oh, that trim — especially the fins. As the owner explained to us: More » -

No Free Mustache Rides From Dr. Z — How About A Free Dodge Challenger Instead?
Other than the PT Cruiser PCH Edition, the big news out of the Chrysler shindig this morning next to Duggan's Irish Pub on Woodward Avenue was the answer to apparently one of the most asked questions on the "Ask Dr Z" website. Although we were hoping more for the answer to the question, "Do you give free mustache rides?" — the question Dr. Z's minions answered today was still pretty good — "How can I win a Dodge Challenger, or another Chrysler Group product?" The press release below the jump can give you all the details how you can win one of nine Chrysler Group cars — three Jeep Wrangler Unlimiteds, three Chrysler Sebrings, and yes, three Dodge Challengers — we were more impressed with the hooplah surrounding the giveaway — including the dubiously legal driving of a non-street-legal car down a small stretch of Woodward Ave. In fact, so impressed were we, we dropped the pictures into a gallery for your enjoyment — and probable evidence for prosecution by the Royal Oak Police Department.

2006 Woodward Dream Pre-Cruise: The 1963 Plymouth Belvedere "Elwood" Police Edition
One of the cooler finds out on the not-so-mean streets of Metro Detroit this weekend has to be this 1963 Plymouth Belvedere with a 6.6 liter 400, done-up for the boys in blue looking for the brothers Blues. The car with the same name as the butler, was re-built by John Hammond, a deputy sherriff in Tennessee, as a tribute to the Blues Brothers and the Mount Prospect Illinois Police Department. John ended up selling his beloved "Elwood" to finance some of his other fine projects, which is one of the reasons why it's now up here in Michigan with a new owner and available for us to yell "Illinois Nazis!" at the top of our lungs. And as Wert says, the best part's the license plate — "STOLEN1." More » -

Summer Cruising On Woodward Avenue: August 11, 2006 — Part I
We're now one week away from the official day Metro Detroit's set aside for classic cruisin' — the 11th annual Woodward Dream Cruise. But like all good "sports," there's totally a need for practice. We headed out into the setting sunlight to witness some of the best and brightest classic cars we've seen down this stretch of asphalt since around this time last year. Although we spent way too much of the night racing down Woodward in a Dodge Ram 1500 Mega Cab, scaring the kiddies who weren't able to read the side of the truck and see that, yeah, it's got a HEMI, we did manage to capture some of the fun. Actually, there was so much classic car action on Woodward not only couldn't we keep up, but we've actually split last night's photos into a threesome of Detroit love. Here's the first of the series. Check back later today for the rest. As always, to follow our misadventures, keep hitting refresh on the Woodward Cruising mini-site, or for the geeks like us, drop the tag into your fave feed reader.
