How long you've had it? three years
Why this car? This car was owned by another female and it she has had it since it came off the showroom. I am a hairdresser. I cut both [her and her husband's] hair. When he died she mentioned she was getting rid of it. They were family. I cut both of their hair for 30 years.
What’s special about Woodward and/or the Dream Cruise for you? It was my stomping ground. I cruised Woodward at 17, 18. We would get next to a car full of boys and say, "Let's meet at Big Boy's" — when they were still around — and we would stay and talk in the parking lot until we got kicked out.
