<br />
Ford, as you likely already know, didn't enter bankruptcy this year, and the Blue Oval didn't need government funds to remain afloat, either. That's a good enough reason to throw a party, and that's precisely what Ford did at 9 Mile and Woodward for this year's Woodward Dream Cruise. <br />
<br />
Ford had by far the largest display of any of the Detroit automakers, and since the Dream Cruise is all about old school muscle, the Mustang was naturally front and center. In fact, Ford dedicated most of Woodward 2009 to <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/gallery/woodward-2009-ford-booth-tour/#51">Mustang Alley</a>; a cornucopia of Ford's trademark pony cars past and present that lined both sides of 9 Mile east of Woodward. While the Shelby GT500 is relatively rare on public streets, Carol's 540-hp masterpiece filled Mustang Alley. But Mustangs rebuilt by regular Joes were also well represented.<br />
<br />
Ford also has a great display of the latest and greatest from Ford trucks, including a couple brand new <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/gallery/woodward-2009-ford-booth-tour/#37">F-150 SVT Raptors</a>, along with a killer <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/gallery/woodward-2009-ford-booth-tour/#7">DeWalt F-150</a> complete with <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/06/chicago-2008-ford-introduces-work-solutions-in-dash-computer-pa/">Ford's Work Solution</a> package. The appropriately yellow DeWalt truck even featured a <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/gallery/woodward-2009-ford-booth-tour/#13">connection for an air compressor</a> above the rear bumper. <br />
<br />
Other Ford vehicles of note include the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/gallery/woodward-2009-ford-booth-tour/#31">2010 Fusion Hybrid</a> that Ford is using to challenge the media to see who can get the best fuel economy and a <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/gallery/woodward-2009-ford-booth-tour/#3">2010 Taurus SHO with a law enforcement light bar</a>.
