BIRMINGHAM, Mich. -

Classic car lovers are all geared up for the annual Woodward Dream Cruise.

The actual event is Saturday. But classic cars — and gawkers taking them in — are expected all week along the Detroit-area thoroughfare before the big day.

It's the 18th year for the event, which is hosted by a number of the communities along the route. For the second year in a row, Chevrolet is the presenting sponsor.
