A Triumph parked in front of Hunter House at the Woodward Dream Cruise.You’ve seen the Mustangs, Corvettes and assorted other classic, muscle and custom cars for weeks. Yep, it’s time for the Woodward Dream Cruise.
Residents and business owners are split on their love of this classic car love-fest. Some soak in all the automotive culture and snap hundreds of photos. Others head for the hills—otherwise known as Up North—to avoid the world’s largest traffic jam.
