Green Dream Cruise
(Wednesday, 20 August 2008) Written by greeniac1217
The previous blog made me smile in appreciation for hybrids. Being a Detroit native, time spent living in San Francisco (where every other car is a hybrid :) has made me realize that there is hope for the automobile industry. It has taken awhile for this new wave of green cars to hit the Motor City, but it is finally starting to make its much needed debut.



If any of you have spent time living in the Detroit area, or have worked for the Big Three, you have probably heard of the Woodward Dream Cruise. "The Woodward Dream Cruise is the world’s largest one-day celebration of car culture, attracting more than 1 million visitors and over 40,000 muscle cars, street rods, custom, collector and special interest vehicles."



It is the epitome of the American automobile. This year, however, was the first year that the Cruise highlighted a "Green Car" and "Green Machine" category. The green trophy went to a 1916 Detroit Electric.



Although the technology for green vehicles has been around for a long time-it is nice to see that the old hot rods and muscle cars are now cruising down Woodward Ave with the newly recognized "green machines".
