A few final Dream Cruise photos Detroit Tiger Tom sent courtesy of his grandson.<\/p>\n

This is radical!<\/p>\n

All over a large area, the Dream Cruise Vehicles were on display in front of many local business establishments.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Just out “Cruising”!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Very traditional but classic too. A Ford Thunderbird in the background and Two Shelby Ford Cobras in lower foreground!<\/p>\n

From all that I have heard, the 2023 Dream Cruise was a big success.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Oh By The Way. Back in the 2014 Dream Cruise, I published two hundred and fifty seven (257) photos of the Dream Cruise as compared to the relatively few you saw in yesterday’s Post. Little did Patti and I ever realize that would be our only Dream Cruise together in this lifetime.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, “Our Detroit Tiger Tom” was upstate enjoying a nice Michigan Summer day.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Oh Yes Tom!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

From Ginny. Evvy and her new pool. Too, too, TOO sweet.<\/p>\n

Hello Gullible!\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Gullible left the below comment on yesterday’s Post.<\/p>\n

Well, that was fun. I have a question about your black Suburban. In the photo above the hood looks pristine, but in photos you took in Arizona the hood paint looks sun-baked, peeling, and dull.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Will the real black Suburban please stand up?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Taa – Daa.<\/p>\n

Exhibit Number One. Our 1998 GMC Suburban we call “Black Beauty” as he looked in August of year 2014.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Exhibit Number Two. Our 1998 GMC Suburban we call “Black Beauty” as he looked in March of year 2023, after about five years or so of baking in the Nevada sun. We leave Black Beauty with Tom and Ginny in Nevada year-round so we can use him in Arizona in the winter.<\/p>\n

Smiling. Still Standing.<\/p>\n
