Chevy continued its rich heritage in the automotive industry, as well as the city of Detroit, by returning as the sponsor of the 2012 Woodward Dream Cruise. This year, Corvette took center stage as it celebrated its 60th anniversary by being the official ride of the Dream Cruise. This free annual event brings together 1.5 million people and over 40,000 classic cars from across the globe. While the event route is only 12 miles long, participants and bystanders are transported 30 to 60 years back in time to the golden era of big block V8s and rock ’n’ roll.
