The 15th annual Woodward Dream Cruise takes place tomorrow in Detroit, as some 40,000 muscle cars, street rods, customs and specialty cars are expected to parade in front of a million people.
There's no way to describe the variety of cars you'll see on Woodward Avenue, the wide boulevard that runs through the suburbs northwest of downtown Detroit, where the practice of cruising from one drive-in to the next made Detroit the center of worldwide car enthusiasm. In recent years, the car manufacturers have used WDC to preview their fastest, baddest cars, but we're not expecting any surprises this year, unfortunately.
Instead we'll be looking for some cars portrayed in a poster from Detroit Cruisin' Legends. It celebrates three cars: the Bad Cad Zeus, a 1949 Cadillac powered by a Corvette L88 big block; the Silver Bullet, a 1967 Plymouth GTX with a 650-hp Hemi V8; and the Orange Crush, a 1961 Ford Galaxie Starliner with 622-hp, SOHC 427-cu-in, Ford V8.
