		Sure, Woodward Avenue of today is much different than it was 30 years ago, and the Dream Cruise is as much traffic jam as it is joyride, but that only stems from the excitement generated by a chance to relive a piece of Americana.
		Many of the 700,000 or so lining Woodward Avenue and walking the streets in awe of the rare machines surrounding them can only dream of having one of those classics, but all were able to imagine themselves behind the wheel.
		Many of those classics that line Woodward Avenue for one or two days a year now are the same cars that cruised that strip in its heyday.

	Woodward Avenue, Detroit's grand old 'Main Street'

		Legal disputes over the widening of Woodward, including an 1874 condemnation proceeding in which the Detroit News offered a certificate of publication (of the original condemnation proceedings) as evidence, were finally resolved in 1932 and all that remained was securing agreement a majority of property owners along the way.

		It was a response to a surge of growth of the suburbs and sub-par upkeep of Woodward Avenue, both of which were hurting downtown business,” said Carmona.

	Woodward 1967 - The Car Connection

		They wanted to win every race on Woodward Avenue, as though their personal and corporate honors were riding on getting to the next red light before the guy in the competitive product in the other lane.
		The really serious racing took place away from Woodward, where there was room to run and no enforcement, but we always came back for coffee and bench racing to one or the other of the popular Woodward haunts, usually finishing up at about 2 am.

	Woodward Avenue - Jalopnik
		As we made the one and a half-mile trek down Woodward Avenue, the rain didn't let up (it actually intensified from spittin' to heavy drizzle) and there was only one thought going through our minds -- when are we gonna see the hot chicks on hot classic cars.
		This guy grabbed us as we were snapping some pictures of the fl-as-night muscle cars as they were ready to head out and cruise Woodward Avenue, and urged us to take a look at his intercooled piece of motown metal.
		With the congestion on Woodward Avenue during the week-long Pre-Cruise, and especially on the Saturday of the Cruise itself, it'll often make more sense to hoof it than to try to drive it.
