2012 Deuce Week Coming Up

The winter months are a little bit slow for people who are into classic car cruises because of the fact that in most parts of the country the weather is uncooperative.

This is the time of year when you sit back and do your research to find the classic car cruises that you are interested in participating in once the weather starts to warm up. This alone can keep you going as you circle your calendar here and there and have some exciting events to look forward to in the coming months.

The good news is that spring is right around the corner, and it is not cold everywhere. One of the first big events of the new year is actually coming up quite soon and it is taking place in Los Angeles as it is being put on by the famed Peterson Automotive Museum.

The event that we are talking about is 2012 Deuce Week and it is going to be taking place on the Miracle Mile in Los Angeles on February 29 through March 3. This exciting gathering is a celebration of the 80th anniversary of the “Deuce,” which is of course a 1932 Ford.

These cars are truly legendary and this event is going to be something extraordinary with so many 1932 Fords all in one place. We are talking about 80-year-old vehicles so this is an assemblage of rarity on an extraordinarily grand scale.

In addition to the event that is going to be taking place on the streets The Peterson Automotive Museum is going to have a number of 1932 Ford motor vehicles on display as well. The Peterson is one of the foremost automotive museums anywhere in the world, and a visit to the museum is a worthy trip in itself. But when you combine a museum visit with 2012 Deuce Week you’re talking about an experience that you don’t want to miss!

Route 66 Classic Car Cruise

They say that it’s not the destination but the journey that really matters, and classic car fans certainly know what this is all about. Even if you’re taking a slow ride to nowhere you can have a fantastic time when you’re behind the wheel of a true American classic cruising down one of our historic highways.

And when you talk about historic highways in the United States, the first one that is going to come to mind is probably going to be Route 66. This iconic stretch of roadway was one of the first of its kind in the United States, becoming operational all the way back in 1926 during the adolescence of the automobile in America.

When it was first built this famous road, which is often called the “Mother Road,” started out in Chicago and ended up in Los Angeles which is nearly 2500 miles of American cruising. Clearly, a trip down Route 66 from one end to the other was the journey of a lifetime then and it is just as much fun today.

With the above in mind you may want to consider attending the Route 66 Classic Car Cruise this summer. The tentative date for the event is Saturday, August 11 and it is an extravaganza that you do not want to miss if you like classic car cruises. The Route 66 Classic Car Cruise is the pride of the Crestwood-Sunset Hills, Missouri area and the hospitality that they serve up is truly extraordinary.

‘Vettes At The Beach Car Show

People who are heavily into collector cars have their own particular favorites, and there are without a doubt countless different models that can really get under your skin. But when you figure it all out it is hard to top the classic Chevrolet Corvette.

The powerful brainchild of the legendary Harley Earl made its debut for the 1953 model year and though General Motors had high hopes for the vehicle no one could have imagined just how important it would become over the years.

As we all know the Corvette is still in production and it has been one of the most highly sought after motor vehicles gracing the roadways for the last 50 years plus.

There are various car shows and cruises that revolve around the Chevy Corvette, and one annual event that you don’t want to miss if you are a big Corvette enthusiast is the ‘Vettes At The Beach Car Show that takes place each spring in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

The penultimate road trip for the true classic car fan involves an awesome array of vehicles coupled with a really desirable destination. It is hard to imagine an event that fits the above description any more aptly than the Myrtle Beach ‘Vettes At The Beach Car Show.

The good folks down there have been doing this for a long time so you can be sure that they will provide you with a memorable experience. This year’s event will be the 17th installment of the ‘Vettes At The Beach Car Show, and it is scheduled to take place on June 1 and June 2 of 2012. To find out more information, simply visit the Myrtle Beach Corvette Club website.

Northern California Cruisin’

There’s nothing like getting out on the open road in your favorite classic car. As much as we like to talk about them, find them, fix them, and pamper them, in the end driving them is what it is all about for a lot of us. This is what makes collector car cruises so much fun.

When you identify the perfect car show or cruise and mark that date on your calendar you feel a sense of anticipation as the weeks pass and the event gets closer and closer. So the experience is actually providing you with fun on three different levels.

You’re sitting around at home or at work embedded in the day-to-day grind, so it feels good to research the car cruises that are coming up and decide which ones you’re going to be able to go to.

Then once you have made your decisions, you can make specific plans, check out hotels and restaurants in the area, and so on and this is fun in its own right.

And of course, the ultimate culmination of it all is actually attending the event and hanging out with fellow classic car fans as you create a world of your own for a couple of days.

The above having been stated, if you live in Northern California or have the desire to visit this beautiful part of the country you may want to consider attending the Biggest Little Car Show. This show is put on by the Golden Hills Mustang Club, and it is going to take place on May 19th of 2012.

The location will be at the Waterfront Plaza in Suisun City, which is just about midway between San Francisco and Sacramento. This is going to be the 28th Biggest Little Car Show so you can be sure that the Golden Hills Mustang Club has learned how to do it up right.

This is an extraordinary event taking place in a special part of the country and if you can make it this year a good time is guaranteed!

The Woodward Dream Cruise

There are some things that you can debate, like whether or not the Beatles were better than the Rolling Stones or whether Chicago style pizza beats New York style. The one thing you cannot question is the fact that Detroit, Michigan was ground zero during the classic era of American cars.

There was a time when life revolved around your ride, especially when you were young and it represented your home away from home. This era has been documented quite well in movies and on television, with people cruising up and down certain streets, visiting drive-in restaurants and taking in drive-in movies. Gas was cheap, things were simple, and life was grand.

In the Detroit area, that street was Woodward Avenue.

If only we could take this era in American history and make it stand still so that we could revisit it again…is this just a dream? In fact, just such an opportunity exists but it only comes once a year in the form of the Woodward Dream Cruise.

If you love collector car cruises you should make a trip to the Woodward Dream Cruise in Detroit an annual pilgrimage. It is a true extravaganza, the largest single day classic car event anywhere with upwards of a million and a half people participating each year.

The Woodward Dream Cruise is held annually on the third Saturday in August. This year the big event will take place on Saturday, August 18th and it runs from nine in the morning until nine at night. You can expect to see over 40,000 totally cool collector cars, and the honest truth is that if you love cars you’ll have the time of your life at the Woodward Dream Cruise. See you on Woodward next summer, and as they say in the malt shop, be there or be square.
