Beach Boys to Headline Dream Cruise Plans for this year's Woodward Dream Cruise are in top gear-and this year, the Beach Boys will have a place in the annual August cruisefest. The modern-day iteration of the Sixties surf group will play on August 19 sponsored by Ford. The company is putting on a charity event, "Ford Cruisin' Legends," to highlight the return of the Mustang to its lineup. The Dream Cruise expects 1.7 million or more fans and 40,000 cars to the 16-mile strip of Woodward Avenue consumed by the Cruise.
