The streets will be crowded next weekend along Woodward Avenue in Royal Oak, Michigan for the 19th Annual Woodward Dream Cruise. As part of the run-up to the festivities, Chrysler has announced that all of its brands - Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Fiat, SRT and Mopar - will bring along their latest vehicles. Also included will be a collection of classic American cars and various activities for attendees at the official Chrysler location on the corner of Woodward and 13 Mile Road.

Special to this year, Ram brand director Bob Hegbloom and head of design John Dehner will unveil a Ram concept truck on Saturday. Chrysler will also bring Ryan Friedlinghaus of West Coast Customs fame along to show off a few custom Chrysler-made vehicles of his own. Fans of the brand on Facebook will get the chance to virtually customize a vehicle from the automaker's portfolio, with the winner getting their dream car built for them by Chrysler. Pretty cool stuff, no?

As in past years, Ford and General Motors will have an official presence at the event as well, and you can expect to see plenty of cars of all makes and models from all parts of the globe. The madness starts this Friday, August 16, from 4:30 PM to 10 PM, with the main event taking place on Saturday, from 9 AM to 9 PM. For more details on the show, including events and their times, check out the press release below.Continue reading Chrysler's Woodward Dream Cruise festivities include Ram concept truck debut

If you've never been to the Dream Cruise, you don't know what you're missing. Woodward Ave. stretches for about 20 miles from Detroit to Pontiac. It's a 10 lane divided boulevard. Imagine 4 lanes in each direction filled with classic cars passing up and down the street with thousands more classic cars parked every which way along the sides. Your neck gets tired swiveling from side to side trying to take in everything. They expect that over 15,000 classic cars will be there.
Hundreds of thousands of people come to watch the spectacle, either from the side of the road or driving through it.
I highly recommend seeing it from a convertible. Keeping your eyes on the road is the hard part.
