4LT GS Roadster
The Woodward Dream Cruise, a parade of tail-finned sedans and rumbling muscle cars, celebrates Americans' love affair with their automobiles -- the bigger and more flamboyant, the better.
But in recent years, the classic and vintage cars in the procession have seemed like the last remnants of a vanished era of prosperity. The industry -- and southeastern Michigan -- sank deeper each year. Last August, General Motors Co., which was getting by on government funds, skipped the event.
But this year, the Dream Cruise seems more festive, with car enthusiasts heartened by signs of the industry's renewal as well as its fabulous heritage.
