The most anticipated event of all car enthusiasts is all happening right now! The Woodward Dream Cruise was launched last August 18, 2007 in Woodward and Old Woodward Birmingham, Detroit. All the best cars are on display during this once a year event which is currently celebrating its 6th year of continuous exhibition of the best things that the auto industry has to offer.

One of the participating companies is GM’s Chevrolet. The 260-horsepower 2008 HHR SS that will hit the market later this year is on Chevrolet’s featured exhibit at Woodward and Woodward in Birmingham Detroit. The Chevrolet HHR SS has a maximum speed of 150 miles per hour. It took the challenge at a difficult road course at Germany’s famous Nurburgring with an 8 minutes and 46 seconds record.

From the article that I read from the Detroit Free Press, Mark Phelan said, “The music may not be about cars, but the musicians will be when the Exhaust Tones take the stage for a brief set of full-throttle rock and roll at the New Way Bar on Woodward Avenue in Ferndale tonight. The Exhaust Tones consists primarily of leading automotive journalists and public relations executives.”

“They’re pretty good for a band that’s been nominated for more Pulitzer Prizes than Grammy Awards, but they’ll only be onstage for 30 minutes or so. The set should begin shortly after 9:30 p.m., which coincidentally, is probably the last time you’ll be able to find parking in downtown Ferndale this weekend.”

“The New Way Bar is located at 23130 Woodward Ave. between 9 Mile Road and I-696. The classic 1957 Chevrolet seems to be more common on Woodward this week than when it was new, but racing mogul Richard Childress brought what may be the rarest of all for a brief public appearance as the brand unveiled its new 2008 HHR SS sport wagon,” added Phelan.

They will take a ride in cars that is owned by the Woodward Tri-Five Cruisers in a parade lap before the Michigan 400 race at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn.

With Chevrolet and all the brightest auto brands in the industry today, everybody will surely enjoy the Woodward Dream Cruise this year just like the previous events that started six years ago. It’s not just featuring the best old and new quality cars that made a big impact in the industry - it’s about the union of these giant auto makers for the benefit of other people. It surely has been making every one of all those enthusiasts happy even though such an event only happens once in a year!
