It features 300 classic cars of all makes and models, sponsor exhibits, live entertainment and more.
The Chevrolet exhibit will be located in the “triangle” south of the 555 Building, where Old Woodward meets Woodward Avenue. They will host a variety of displays and activities starting 
at 9 a.m. Saturday and running through the conclusion of the Cruise at 9 p.m. It’s a great location to check out the displays while viewing the classic cars on Woodward. Both WXYZ Channel 7 and WOMC 104.3 FM will broadcast live throughout the day from Birmingham and the Chevy event respectively.
