These photos were taken recently at the Dream Cruise on Woodward Avenue several miles north of Detroit. Woodward Avenue was the first paved road in the United States and begins in Downtown Detroit and terminates in Downtown Pontiac which happens to be a favorite old haunt for me in the 1980s and 1990s. Both of my children were also born in a hospital in this old city. Like Detroit, Pontiac isn’t what it once was.

Groovy!
Thanks! My dad had a very similar car years ago, it was an experience driving it! It had no front brakes either which meant keeping a great distance open in front of you.
Good memories for you
Wonderful memories! Thanks, Derrick.
First paved road, that’s interesting history! Great car
Thanks! My buddies and I used to cruise Woodward back in the 80s on the weekends. Time really flies by…
