I had my '57 Chrysler 300C there. We spent the day running between 9 Mile and 15 Mile.
While its a wonderful time and a great event, I also have an issue with the growing amount of modern cars in the right hand lanes on Woodward. I heard complaints from several vintage car drivers and crowd members Saturday. I think one of the highights for the crowd is being able to see your favorite cars up close.
I know its a voluntary practice for "cruisers only in the right two lanes" but think it is in need of significantly more publicity.
If you agree, drop some e-mails to the people listed in the "contact us" section at:

or the executive director at

Anybody have any ideas for a catchy slogan? With more publicity and some crowd support we can make a big improvement.

Yep, I was there both Friday Night and most of Saturday at the "Phoenix Center" in Pontiac. Drove my bronze over pink 1957 Chrysler Saratoga 4dr. I was actually rear-ended by some dip**** driving an old Cherokee. I wish I'd had the presence of mind to take the cell phone out of her hand and throw it into the crowd!
I almost had a heart attack when i got out of my car and saw her grille all smashed, but it turned out to be old damage. The Mighty Chrysler only suffered a slightly displaced bumper guard.
I was in the curb lane in an area plainly marked "Cruisers Only", but that didn't deter her. The problem that I am seeing is that the wheat isn't firmly enough separated from the chaff and most of the cruise seemed to be a gigantic traffic jam, except in the designated parking areas.
The happiest (And smartest) people I saw were the ones sitting under tents on the West side of Woodward avenue in the les-congested areas between the focal points af attention. They had an all-day parade!
We learn every year... perhaps it will be better next time!
