Woodward Dream Cruise Classic

Visit the 3rd Annual Bloomfield Township Classic – a free car show and party coinciding with the Woodward Dream Cruise Aug. 18

For the third year in a row Mercedes Benz of Bloomfield Hills will be the site of the Bloomfield Township Classic, one of the premiere free events happening along Woodward Avenue during the 13th Annual Woodward Dream Cruise.

The Classic, a free car show and party coinciding with the Aug. 18, Dream Cruise, features entertainment, food and one of the best vantage points for viewing the excitement that takes place along Woodward.

It is held from 1:00 – 5:00 PM at the Mercedes Benz of Bloomfield Hills dealership on Woodward just south of Quarton.

Spots are still available for owners of pre-1972 classic or specialty cars looking to be part of the Bloomfield Township Classic. A two-tiered entry system has been added this year. For $100 vehicle owners can register their cars and receive an official event polo shirt or they can pay $75 without the shirt. All car show participants will receive an official Woodward Dream Cruise dash plaque.

This juried car show, party and charity event was started by a group of Township car enthusiasts looking to involve their neighbors in the largest one-day auto event in the world. Proceeds from car registrations and sponsorships go to help three local charities: The Bloomfield Hills Optimists Club, the Bloomfield Township Fire Dept. Charities and Oakland Family Services.

Helping to offset the costs this year with a major sponsorship is the Ohio-based Cobra replica dealer Dynamic Motorsports. Dynamic specializes in the sales and service of Cobra and GT-40 replicas officially licensed by the car’s original inspiration, Carroll Shelby. Part of Dynamic’s display will include test drive opportunities on Sunday, Aug. 19, for interested buyers.

Mercedes-Benz of Bloomfield owner Charles Ghesquiere again this year makes the Bloomfield Township Classic possible by donating the use of his dealership.

In addition to cruising music spun by a D.J., this year’s Classic will also feature a performance by the Meladies, a Lahser High School vocal group and a performance by members of the Andover pom pon squad.

New this year to the Classic is an opportunity for families to have a portrait taken with a Bloomfield Township Fire Dept. vehicle as a backdrop. Framed pictures will be available for purchase for $5.

The Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation (SMART) will offer free transportation from 8:30 AM to 11:00 PM on Aug. 18 from 8 Mile Road to downtown Pontiac. The special SMART bus stops will be marked with red. For more information about special Dream Cruise SMART bus stops call 866.962.5515 or visit smartbus.org
