Dream Cruise VIPs get plenty of perks

The spectacle that is the Woodward Dream Cruise is special, but it can be even more special with the purchase of a "VIP Cruisers" pass for $25.

The pass -- only 12,500 are available -- gives holders access to special automotive activities in Metro Detroit for all of August, a limited-edition Woodward Dream Cruise commemorative plaque and discounts and benefits valued at more than $100. Proceeds from the sale of the plaques will be used to help fund the cost of running the cruise in each of the nine cities that host the iconic event.

Benefits include discounts on automotive art, clothing and jewelry on display at the Horsepower Heritage gallery at the Michigan State Fair, two-for-one admission to the Sloan Museum in Flint, discounts on Dream Cruise sunglasses at Optik Birmingham, food discounts, detailing discounts at Jax Car Wash, a discounted annual membership to The Henry Ford and more.

Cruisers interested in securing a VIP Cruisers pass must register online at the MotorCities Web site at: http://www.motorcities.org">www.motorcities.org or at http://www.woodwarddreamcruise.com">www.woodwarddreamcruise.com.
