They called it cruising. And in the '50s and '60s, it was one of the favorite pastimes of American youth. It was an era of innocence and high octane gasoline, fast cars and poodle skirts, burgers and "hole shots." No place had the action found in the northern suburbs of Detroit , where the hot strip was Woodward Avenue. So it's fitting that every August, tens of thousands of classic muscle cars, hot rods, sports cars - and more than a few vehicles that defy easy classification - take to "the boulevard for the Woodward Dream Cruise. This year, the annual event celebrated its 11th anniversary, and TheCarConnection.com team is on the scene for all the action.
