Was a Ferrari 599 Roadster present at Pebble?
August 31, 2010
Filed under: Convertible, Performance, Misc. Auto Shows, Ferrari
We might have obsessively covered the vehicles of Pebble Beach Week out in Monterey, California, but it appears that we - and everyone else in the media - may have missed one.
If a letter sent to a Ferrari owner is to be believed (and we’re not convinced it should be), the automaker held a special gathering for a select group of owners to view a 599 Roadster… Continue reading

Renault does well in Russia, and the market is important enough to the French automaker that it’s unveiled its latest vehicle in Moscow. The Renault Latitude is described as a “business class” sedan, which translates to a crisply-styled, generously-sized car carrying luxury and tech features.

2010 Woodward: Vanity plates that make you double-take
August 22, 2010
Filed under: Etc., Misc. Auto Shows
We aren’t the biggest fans of most vanity plates. At the Woodward Dream Cruise, however, there are plenty of witty, snappy and mildly inappropriate plates to be seen, and we can’t help but laugh (or at least chuckle quietly) at some of these creative tags. After all, it’s one thing to cruise Woodward Avenue in…… Continue reading

August 22, 2010
Filed under: Classics, Chrysler, Dodge, Misc. Auto Shows
First thing we did after arriving at the 2010 Woodward Dream Cruise was head out to the various automaker displays on Woodward Avenue. And, as you can see, that includes Chrysler. Included amongst the normal and expected 300s, Wranglers and Ram Trucks, we spotted a couple gems that are well worth… Continue reading
2010 Woodward: Classics make Dream Cruise worth the weather
August 22, 2010
Filed under: Misc. Auto Shows
There’s no doubt that classic automobiles make up the bulk of what keeps us coming to Detroit to cover the Woodward Dream Cruise year after year. But what makes a car a classic? That question is as debatable as ever, but for the purposes of our coverage this weekend, we’re calling a classic anything built before 1964 or so. That’s around the…… Continue reading
2010 Woodward: Smoke on the Woodward
August 21, 2010
Filed under: Misc. Auto Shows
What do you do at the Woodward Dream Cruise when it’s raining cats and dogs? Well, we were keeping dry up on the second floor of an office building looking through the windows at the few cruisers left when we finally found something worth posting on. It’s a PT Cruiser. Not post-worthy in and of itself, but this plum beauty was smoking hot. Literally.
Just as we were debating whether or… Continue reading

1.5 million people. 40,000 vehicles. 16 miles of famous Woodward Ave. It’s that time of year again to cover our favorite event near the city of Detroit (we love the Detroit Auto Show, but c’mon, it happens in the dead of winter): the Woodward Dream Cruise. Like years prior, we’ll be on-hand for the official cruise day tomorrow, though Detroiters have had their classic cars out on Woodward Ave. all week before the thousands of classic vehicle gawkers…… Continue reading
