Why this car? I have always liked these trucks. I have always liked the body style and I wanted a car like the one in Dazed and Confused. I had some body work done. This is the third engine I've put in it; new transmission, new suspension, discs, brakes, just upgrades.

What’s special about Woodward and/or the Dream Cruise for you? I like the cars.
