2004 Woodward Dream Cruise

For the second year in a row, 429 group member Art Richardson and I took my Mustang to the Woodward Cruise. We ended up spending 10 hours there, only completing the whole circuit once. Tons of cars and a great time. We took the photos below to share the experience with those who couldn’t be there :- )

Art and I stopped by Ed Schmid Ford to meet Mike the Cobra from the Torino/Cyclone Forum and to check out some of his group’s cars. Saw quite a few nice Torinos and a great Cyclone. Saw Mike’s new paint job and took a few pix of our cars together;
