TELEGRAPH CRUISE scheduled for Saturday, July 25


On Saturday, July 25, classic car enthusiasts from throughout Southeast Michigan – and beyond – will converge on Telegraph Road for the 11th annual Telegraph Classic Car Cruise. Spanning the cities of Taylor, Dearborn Heights, Dearborn and Redford, the event is expected to draw thousands of enthusiasts between the hours of 9 a.m. and 9 p.m.

Several business owners and operators along Telegraph are planning special event-related activities – including outdoor parties/services and making their parking lots available to cruisers and spectators. Taylor businesses and organizations that plan outdoor activities along the route should remember to file the proper permits with the City. 

Permits can be obtained through the Customer Service Center at City Hall, 23555 Goddard, during regular business hours Mondays through Fridays. For more information, call (734) 287-6550.

Spectators should be mindful of the weather conditions: Protect yourself from exposure to the sun and heat and drink plenty of non-alcoholic beverages throughout the day to remain hydrated. 

Police along the route will have stepped-up patrols throughout the cruise. Cruisers should adhere to all normal traffic ordinances regarding speed, legal turns, etc. The Taylor Police Department wants everyone to enjoy the Telegraph Cruise, but cautions spectators and participants against the following:
         Driving and drinking will not be tolerated
         Pedestrians should stay clear of the street
         Please do not throw anything into the roadway, including water or bleach

The event originated in honor of the Telegraph Tomorrow Association, which worked to improve and promote the Telegraph Road corridor. The City of Taylor is finalizing plans for a classic car display, emergency stations, etc. in the old Handy Andy Lot. Although nothing was confirmed as of this printing, other hot spots usually include The United Auto Workers Region 1A and Biker Bob’s.
