All makes and models of classic cars can be found on Woodward Avenue this week, with license plates from California and Colorado to New York and Pennsylvania. Even our friends from Canada cruise over for the world's largest one-day car event.

"I've been coming here since Day One," said Scott Fricker of Tennessee. "We have family here." It's a great opportunity for Fricker to show off his GTO and reconnect with loved ones.

Some even reconnect through Facebook.

After 10 years, Mike Baldwin of Maryland found the former owner of his 1968 Barracuda through the social networking site Facebook. "I looked and looked and finally found him on Facebook," said Baldwin, who bought his classic from Dave Detloff of Clinton Township 10 years ago. He was excited to show off the upgrades.
