AkzoNobel hosts Dave Kindig and showcases classic cars at 25th annual Woodward Dream Cruise

“The Dream Cruise is where the rubber really meets the road. If you want to see awesome classic cars, you need to be here,” says Kindig. “I’m honored to partner with AkzoNobel for this event that began from supporting a good cause and has now grown to be a renowned and simply impressive automotive entertainment event.” Now in its 25th year, the Dream Cruise started as a grass roots movement in 1995 to raise money for a soccer field in Ferndale, Michigan. Today, the Dream Cruise is one of the world’s largest automotive events. It draws in more than 1.5 million people and 40,000 classic cars from around the globe, and it inspires automotive professionals and car enthusiasts of all ages.An impressive display The AkzoNobel Dream Cruise lot will have quite a display of cars. Alongside employees’ and customers’ vintage cars, Kindig’s collection will include a 1967 Dodge Coronet, painted in Modern Classikk Deep Viridian, and a 1963 Chevy Corvette, painted in Modern Classikk Veruca Violet. Kindig will be on hand to sign autographs, take photos with fans and “talk shop” about how he restored the vehicles.
