Woodward cruise 2011

[grittracing]

Today was the Woodward dream cruise. "The world's biggest car show" if your a car guy you wopuld be like a kid in a candy store. I was the second person to arive at Golling Fiat of Birmingham Michigan. The 1st was the guy unlocking the dealership. they where letting anyone with a Fiat park in their parking lot. I tried to park in front of the door with the Fiat logo on the door.but it was to small.









Jim and sue watch was hosting a party about 2 miles south down Woodward at their home.So I walked down to their home leaving the car at the dealership. here are the pictures of the sites on the way there and in there drive way.





























At the dealership they ask a couple of to take our car to thier other display down the street. I was one of the luckly one to beable to show my car with the Fiat display.









this isnt even a 100th of coverage of the cruise. I am going to try to post link to a couple youtube videos tomorrow

very good ! I was wondering if anyone would catch that. It is a friend of mine. Pietro. He also has a very nice spider near perfect. It maybe 100% stock.

That really is fantastic. What a great day Are you sure it's the worlds biggest gathering though. When I left the UK 10 years ago, we had "Classics on the Common" at Harpenden (where I was born) every July. There were around 2000 cars then and I understand it has grown since.
If your interested, It started with a bunch of classic car guys getting together at the local pub, who decided to invite a few other like minded owners to turn up at The Silver Cup pub on Harpenden common one wednesday evening to have a drink or two. That was about 16 years ago. Word got round and it grew and grew. I attended twice with my 289 cobra before coming to Spain. It was great fun with fabulous cars, and being mid July, great weather too.

spiddy,
you may have me but i would have to say it would be a close tie. 15 to 20 mile. A lanes of a 4 lane high way bumper to bumper cars. I will have to check the attendence numbers and get back to you

Scott the Fiat brand manager for Great lakes and I where talking about the price of advertising for 2 weeks before an during the cruise on a local radio station. might I also add the station streams live on the web and Plays the Blues on sunday nights from 9 p.m. to 12 a.m.

Let me just say Fiat is spending the money to get Our Fiat Brand Name out. and in the last fee weeks I have seen 5 on the road, local to me. great to start seeing them on the road. one lady pulled beside me and you could tell see had no idea that the spider i was driving was a Fiat.lol

Hey Ron, I knew that. When you have a country that big, why would anyone want more?
