Thinking of going. My first since I'm from SoCal. Any tips, do's, dont's, parking, best spots? Is this just muscle cars?

I'm heading up there tomorrow. You can't go wrong with any place from 9 mile in Ferndale all the way to Birmingham. During the week a lot of action around 13 mile in Royal Oak. Saturday is a zoo, I don't cruise on Sat, but Wed Thurs and Fri I'll be up and down Woodward all day. Friday I'll be in the park at 13th and Woodward. Saturday there will be a lot of Cobra's at the 555 building in Birmingham.

I have been there twice and it is a blast. I will be there this Saturday . Birmingham . The Great Lakes Cobra Club had breakfast catered in , if you can get in on this do so . Every car manufacture will have displays not to be mist. Also they will have 140 buses in a continues loop and they are free rides around the show. You will see museum Quality Cars driven down Woodward Ave. how cool is that .
Ford had early proto one of cars from the fifties in Birmingham city park that you have never seen or heard of before . There was est. 44000 show cars and 1.7 million attendance . This is rated as the biggest and the best car show in the world .
I was talking the the Birmingham police chief about the show and he said to get here ASAP , why I ask , he said look at the age of the owners of this historic cars , they are silver hairs guys and gals how long can they last ! Good point they are: and I find everyone I have talked to are friendly and are car nuts . So if you see something you like say hello to the owners; that makes it all worth it to them .

Great Lakes doesn't cater in breakfast, breakfast and lunch is made by the members and is included with the price of parking.
