From what I gather... the 1950s and 1960s when the golden cruise era was at its' height, the cruise area was just Woodward north of 8 Mile, where burger joints, drive-in restaurants and cruise places were prevalent. South of 8 Mile, not so much.
Not totally true. At Nevada and Woodward there was a small drive in called Ted’s. This was referred to as Little Ted’s and the neighborhood gearheads hung out their.
These were not Daddies cars like new muscle cars from the factory. These were cars built from junkyard scrap and a few add on race parts and would go out and challenge the rich kids on north Woodward all the way out to Big Ted’s on Square Lake.
