Default Cruzin Woodward, as told by Jim Wangers

Anyone ever see this? I bought it one year when wangers and the Royal guys were camped out by 15 mile on Woodward.
It’s cheesy but it takes you through the Royal stuff and shows the cruzin circuit back in The day. After the bobcat tune up, they would “test” the car on Main Street between the 2 Cemetery’s . Lol. ( circa 2005)

Looks like fun.

Maybe you should set up a viewing so that it loops around during one of your Cars & Coffee meets.

Will do. And you know the garage, stop by for a couple beers one day, it’s not a long video.
I thought the same thing, I’ll pay it next years cars and coffee. I wonder if I can run a few copy’s off it ?

Bring that nice poncho. BTW.

I don’t see it avail, stop by, have a beer and I’ll pay it in the garage. Lol
Correction, the test run was on Rochester rd between the cemetery’s.
Takes you on a nostalgic Cruze from the totem pole to big boys, where the humbler commercial was shot then up to Ted’s in Bloomfield.
Check out the video, you can see the big boy sign in one shot on the windshield.

Dug out the DVD today, there’s some Royal dealership pics you don’t see often on the video.

We cruised Woodward every night including in the winter during the late 60s. Woodward was pretty much dead by '72. Drove in my '64 442 or my buddys '66 Chevelle. The money races were on M59.

That would be a cool video to see.

Been on that road many, many times over the last 40 years.
We had a Fabrication Vendor just above 14 mile road.

Used to take the scenic route back to Dearborn on Rochester Road before 696 ever got built.

I still use it as part of my commute when construction traffic affects my routes.

Once you get in the groove and start catching the lights green it moves pretty good.
