Why this car?: For Cohan, the design of the Ford Retro is why he chose the car. "I love the classic design with modern technology — (this) car is a real head turner," Cohan said.
What is special about the Dream Cruise or the Birmingham Cruise?: Cohan has always enjoyed cruising down Woodward Avenue and watching cars do the same. Specifically he remembers cruising down Woodward in his 1934 Ford Coupe in the 1960s. "The Birmingham experience is a perfect way to relive the 'good old days in good old cars' while making new memories," Cohan said.
