"Woodward Dream Cruise 2004" is an annual thing here in detroit, where people bring out there cars, new & old, and cruise up and down woodward avenue. woodward, since the late 40's, has been a place where people come to eat, drink, hang out, cruise and drag race. There are many 50's style diners and bars. There is much nostalgia surrounding the event, as Detroit is obviously America's car capital, where all the major American car companies are headquartered.

Called the planet's largest one-day auto show, 1.5 million spectators were estimated to line the streets this year.

wooh! i think my favourites are the mustang, dodge challanger and corvette ... not generally a big fan of american cars but some of those are rather tasty

as to the connection between snakes and horses (Ford Mustang Cobra) i can only suggest the following analogy - Ford Sierra Cosworth - model is Sierra, Cosworth is an engineering company who (i presume) helped with the engine or similar ... like Mini and Mini Cooper? It did just say Cobra on the air-intake didn't it?

Is this a Nova?


20 lashes with a wet noodle for you !!

My friend that is a 1970 Chevelle with a 454 big block under the hood.

The 70 LS-6 Chevelle is considered by many ton be the definition of a 'Muscle Car'. 465HP and over 500 ft.lbs. of torque in a 3700# street car.

CHEVELLE...not Nova, stupid me...serious numbers for that 454, wow. This was one of my favorites of the weekend here; this and the Pontiac GTO have, for me, that classic 60's musclecar look, love it! There were a few GTO's prowling about at night but I didn't get a decent shot of one. Incidentally, where this particular group of cars were, there was a '04 GTO (the model from Australia, which looks nothing like the original GTO) with its hood cracked open. I was there for 2 hours and didn't see anyone stop and take a look at it. I guess they disapproved lol.

the corvette was sweet, looked to be in great condition. I was looking at something else and heard this loud rumble behind my back to see the corvette going by, I almost missed the shot. It was LOUD.

The firehawk was insane. This one was very clean, very trick carbon fiber intake, racing slicks, and nitrous injection. I forgot to get an interior picture, I wanted to see how he had the nitrous set up.

PC,

You should move these pics over to Tilted Motors. The crowd over there would enjoy them. I know I did.

Thanks for posting them.

I didn't realize how much of a Chevy fan I really am till now. Those mid to late 50's Chevy's and that Chevelle are beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Wish I was there to show my car....Thanks for the pics!

powerclown

OK it should be obvious by now that I'm no expert on 60's musclecars.
I merely take the pictures lol...

Feel free to fill in the names and/or years, for reference.

(Hey CamaroRS1967, if you want to, go ahead and post pics of your ride here. And anyone else, as well.)

That is what an engine should look like. I'd love to see it run on the strip.

thanks for the great pics, I never get tired of looking at classic cars, Ford, Mopar, GM, I love them all (of course I have my favorites, but I appreciate the work it takes to get a 20, 30, or 40 year old car in shape like that)
