Liesl and I drive her Chevy Volt in the Woodward Dream Cruise yesterday. Chevrolet sponsored a homecoming for Volt owners as a part of Chevy's 100th anniversary so we got to drive Jolt The Volt (Liesl's car has a name) up and down Woodward as a part of a 100 car parade that kicked off this year's Dream Cruise.
Here are the 50 Volts lined up in the parking lot of the Kingsley Radisson before the Cruise. This photo was taken by a Volt team member. Thank you, Mr. Dean, for climbing up and getting this photo! Actually, at one point in the day's festivities there were 63 Volts that joined the gathering. Considering that GM sold around 4000 of these cars in the first model year (2011) that's quite a representation.
We met Volt owners from all around Michigan as well as from Arizona, New Jersey, and Texas. The Volt people who make parts for the car, assemble it, test it, market the Volt, and support the Volt were on hand to meet and greet. It was a way cool event.
Tomorrow's blog post will be an album of photos from the Dream Cruise featuring the Chevy Volt.
