Here’s Some of the Mustangs You Missed During the 2026 Woodward Dream Cruise

The Woodward Dream Cruise is billed as North America’s largest one-day automotive event celebrating the classic car culture. With the Motor City’s famed Woodward Avenue known as the birthplace of the American auto industry, it only makes sense that this annual summer mega-event takes place in the metro Detroit area. Held on the third Saturday of August each year, the Dream Cruise attracts some 1 million people from across the globe and 40,000 classic, custom and collector vehicles of all kinds – from hot rods to muscle cars and everything in-between.The cruise route itself covers a 16-mile loop along Woodward Avenue just north of Detroit through multiple suburbs starting in Ferndale, heading 8 miles up to Pontiac and returning 8 miles back. For Mustang fans, the big attraction is Ford’s Mustang Alley along Nine Mile Road in Ferndale, where hundreds of Mustangs and Ford performance vehicles are on display. Podcast co-hosts John Clor and Mike Rey walked the alley in a recent episode to introduce you to some of the people who you’ll meet there and to hear their Mustang stories.But many of you have asked for a closer look at the cars both in Mustang Alley and out cruising along Woodward, so in this episode John and Mike offer a glimpse at some of the Mustangs you may have missed seeing at this year’s Woodward Dream Cruise. It’s all thanks to the photos we received from Bill Cook, a Ford retiree and superfan whose Mustang and Ford car show event photojournalism helped make John’s Enthusiast Section on FordPerformnance.com so immensely popular before Ford Racing’s pivot to motorsports only website content. Take a look at the some of these cool Mustangs Cook spotted both in the alley and actively rolling along Woodward on cruise day.
