    This show is held in a strip mall parking lot at Gratiot and 23 mile road. Gratiot is Michigan road M3 away from the city. 23 Mile road is really 23miles out side of Detroit. It was a mini Woodward dream cruise. So not only were there cars parked in the parking lot you could be entertained by setting up a lawn chair in the grass strip along rhe street and watching all the cars cruise by. You could also cruise the street 5 miles about south and see cars parked in other lots and about 6 miles north to also see them in other lots.

    If we ever go to this show again we will not pay the fee (one of the highest for car shows) they charge people to show their car and be judged. Was very disorganized several of us felt. No drivers ticket drawing for door prizes, no drivers goodie bag, no dask plaques and when they announced they were going to announce the winner of the raffle you could hear many say what raffle, did you know they were having a raffle, where did you buy tickets, did you see any one selling tickets.

    Nice pics as always. Thanks!

    The cop car reminded me of the time my buddy was blasting through a
    Georgia town one night when a mustang pulled alongside his camaro. Before he hammered down, he saw the markings of State Trooper!!!
