Woodward 2009: You're not from around here, are you?
Woodward 2009: European cars – Click above for high-res image gallery
For the most part, the Woodward Dream Cruise is all about recognizing the best cars, trucks and motorcycles that America has to offer. That said, there's plenty of four-lane roadway to go around and cars from other countries are certainly welcome. For instance, we saw plenty of classic machines from the likes of MG, Triumph and Fiat that provided something different to look at from the normal Camaros and Mustangs on Woodward. We also saw an old Woodie-style Morris Minor that we couldn't help but snap a few pictures of. Check out the rest of the European cars from the 2009 Woodward Dream Cruise in our gallery below.

I love the Woodward vs. Monterey posts warring over domination of Autoblog's page 1.
This year was fun, just got back to my apartment. Sat on the corner of 16 Mile and Woodward for about three hours and just watched the cars go by.

Dream Cruise was pretty awesome today.
Saw all sorts of cars including an orange Gallardo droptop, a yellow F430 droptop, a 612 Scaglietti and a Saleen S7.

Can anyone id the 6th to last car, what appears to be the business end of a small black British (?) car?

It's a TVR Grantura or Griffith of some sort, but I am no expert on British iron, uh, fiberglass, uh, glass fibre.

KA: it's a late 60's TVR Tuscan.

I was several miles north at Back to the Bricks in Flint. It's really shaped up to be an excellent show and it's far less crowded than the Dream Cruise.

Definitely a late 60's-early 70's TVR, although I'm unsure of the model as they had a number of different models using the same bodyshell.

That's a 1971 Ford Torino.

The yellow one looks like a Ford Torino, probably 1970 - '71.

Wow! I think you must have caught all of the still-running Triumph TR7s and TR8s and North America! :)
Not to mention all the Amphicars.

Yay, I see a Spitfire. I would however love that TR-8 convertible, provided it's not an automatic.
