I remenbered seeing the name Woodward av in a article I had ,so I looked for it and found it in a book called Chevy II Nova & SS Muscle Portfolio 1962-1974 by Brookland Books.On pages 77 to 81 they have a article taken right out of Car and Driver back in 1968 about the 1968 Chevy II Nova SS 396 375 Hp.Page 79 shows the car sitting next to a street sign post,it reads Sunset Blvd and W.Woodward Av.What's the history of this street? By the way I can help them recreate that picture with one of my 68's ,one coming from Ca. originally.

Hey there, Dan. The Woodward Avenue that I was referring to, is located in Detroit. This was the place where street legends were born. Trying to surmise the history of Woodward is a tall order. Imagine factory hot rods rolling out at night and tearing it up with the locals. Burger joints lining the streets, wicked racers and the sweet smell of burnt 100+ octane. MCR did an article on Woodward a few years ago, that is a must read. It gives you a good idea of what was going on, but it only scratches the surface of all the wonderful stories and people that made Woodward happen. The Dream Cruise is a tribute to a that bygone era of when street racing wasn't considered Public Enemy #1. It's kind of ironic that the cruise is "slowed" down now because of so many participants. I hear that it's a good time, nonetheless.--Bullittb
