Father and son make dream Mustang road trip--to the Woodward Dream Cruise

As a boy, Joe Cram dreamed of the day when he and his father, Ralph, would make their great American road trip. The ride was going to be their project 1968 Ford Mustang convertible.

Unfortunately, because of economic circumstances, the car was sold before completion, seemingly putting an end to their shared dream.

Sixteen years later, however, father and son reunited for their dream drive--in a 2010 Mustang convertible. They departed from their Houston home and traveled to the Woodward Dream Cruise in suburban Detroit in August 2009, making fun car-related stops along the way.

In preparation for this year's Woodward Dream Cruise, set for Aug. 20, check out this short film from two years ago to see what drives some people and creates memories to last a lifetime.
