“The Mustang is a woman’s car,” he said. “Woman love ‘em – they’re ice cream-getters!”
According to Brittnie Windel, who was waitressing for Grille 23, there were plenty of classic cars to see.
“This is the most cars I’ve seen! This is definitely the best turnout car-wise this year,” Windel said.
There was a good variety of different types of cars to see, including the 1981 Chevette owned by Gary Spock of Brighton.
“This car was judged the best in the world by Car and Driver in the June 2011 issue,” he said.
He had a copy of the article to prove it.
On the other end of the spectrum, Peter Shilland of Commerce Township brought his candy apple red 2009 Corvette Calloway. Shilland said he bought it last year but has only taken it out a couple of times.
Several people from the Woodward Tri Five Cruisers were in attendance, including Fast Eddie Swamba from the Fast Eddie Band. Their Chevys were prominently displayed throughout the show area of the parking lot.
