Why do you love this car?: It was originally my father's car and he left it to me after he passed away. It has approximately 14,000 miles on it and everything is original. It has a factory installed CB radio and the most plush leather seats you'll ever sit in.
What is special about the Dream Cruise?: My husband and I grew up in Royal Oak in the 50s and 60s. Woodward Avenue was part of our youth. Friends visit from out-of-state and we enjoy the Dream Cruise festivities with them.
