The Woodward Dream Cruise is back this August

This summer's 2021 Dream Cruise is another sign of life returning to normal following the COVID-19 pandemic.

Automotive expert Jeff Gilbert from WWJ-950 said the event is vital for Detroit's auto industry.

"Anytime you can get your vehicles in front of people, that is a good thing," he said. "Not just your new vehicles, but to show a little bit of your history."

The original 1966 Ford Bronco adorns the logo for this year's event but there will also be an eye on the future, too. Gilbert said a good number of electric vehicles will participate.
