Woodward Ave. sign Dream Cruise 98

 

Taking this '62 Corvette for a ride on Historic U.S. 66 would be a treat for anybody who used to watch the television program, Route 66! For today however, Woodward is the place to be.

Knockoffs and sidepipes set this second-generation Corvette apart from the pack. These cars were among the first to be fitted with the famous Chevy big block. I remember reading road tests in the 60s that claimed 70 mph in first gear.

Thanks to Ronnie Stensson of Sweden, who Identified the '36 Ford Fordor (4-door) below. The rod has suicide doors, as you can tell from the hinge in view on the trailing edge of the rear door.
