About this product

Product Information

In the 1950s, cruising swept the nation. American street became impromptu racetracks as soon as the police turned their backs. Young people piled into friends_ cars and cruised their main streets with a new sense of freedom. Pent-up desires after the hardships of World War II plus a booming economy fueled a car-buying frenzy. To lure buyers to their particular makes and models, automobile companies targeted the youth market by focusing on design and performance. No place was that more relevant than on metro Detroit_s Woodward Avenue, the city_s number-one cruising destination and home of the world_s automobile industry. Barely 50 years earlier, Henry Ford rolled his first Model T off the assembly line at Piquette and Woodward, just south of where cruisers, dragsters, and automobile engineers ignited each other_s excitement over cars. This unique relationship extended into the muscle car era of the 1960s, as Woodward Avenue continued to reflect the triumphs and downturns of the industry that made Detroit known throughout the world.

  • Fun, informative, easy read

    I might be a little bit biased since this book was co-authored by my cousin, and I lived in the Detroit area during this period. I spent many nights visiting some of the places mentioned. There were some great cars tooling around the suburbs and every night was an adventure. It was a great time and this book captures the essence of the era perfectly.

  • Misleading Title

    Covers more of the history of Woodward Avenue and what it looked like in DOWNTOWN Detroit.....pretty light on actual Woodward Avenue "cruising."
