Woodward Avenue (M-1) the America's Byways - Automotive Heritage Trail - All American Road • Michigan. Just 27 miles long can be driven in an hour but It will took us 2 days just to view some of the automotive related attractions.
"If Broadway = Theater and Rodeo Drive = High Fashion and Jewelry, then Woodward = the Automobile. The Motor City, and in particular, Woodward Avenue, put the world on wheels. America's automobile heritage is represented along this byway in famed industrial complexes, office buildings, residential mansions, world-renowned museums, and cultural institutions." Text Source: (
