Dearborn, MI: Classic car buffs take to Telegraph for annual cruise

This has already occurred, but it's an annual event so mark the date for next year.

Detroit Daily News: Classic car buffs take to Telegraph for annual cruise

Dearborn -- Tom Hipple of Dearborn was so excited about today’s classic car cruise on Telegraph he took a pre-event ride last night to check out the best gathering places.

Hipple chose to park his white ’68 Chevelle at Shamrock Automotive on Telegraph in Dearborn to watch the Telegraph Tomorrow Classic Car Cruise. He and his wife, Linda, joined dozens of other car buffs under the shade of a large tent to watch the classic cars drive by.

"It's kind of nice -- it's gotten bigger and bigger," he said. "All the makes and models, it's great."

The cruise, in its seventh year, stretches from Eureka Road in Taylor to Puritan Road in Redford Township. Spectators have gathered in various spots along Telegraph in foldable lawn chairs to watch the cars.

The city of Taylor kicked off the day's event with a parade this morning. Cruising ends at 9 p.m.

Dan Roach, of Tecumseh, Ontario, drove his black '66 Thunderbird to the cruise. He stopped to look under the hoods of the classic cars parked in front of Oxford Lanes in Dearborn.

"I like to see cars you don't see very often," he said, mentioning a 1953 Hudson Hornet he saw earlier in the day. "You don't see those cars around."
