Caught this absolute beauty at the Jackson Cruise-In: a 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass SX.
​There is just something about the way these A-bodies sit. The SX was such a unique piece of automotive history—you got that massive 455 big block torque wrapped in a package that still looks classy parked at the diner or tearing up the strip.
​When you get up close to you really see the lines the way the designers intended. Seeing the reflection in that deep finish, you know the owner puts in the time to keep the chrome bright and the paint protected. It’s exactly that kind of passion that keeps this hobby alive and thriving here in Michigan.
​Nothing beats a cool evening, some good company, and a classic Olds breathing through those dual exhausts.

Old school style meets modern performance! 🤯 Spotted this wild ride cruising through downtown Jackson Cruise In. It’s a newer Corvette rockin' a vintage retro body kit.
​Is it old? Is it new? Who cares—it looks absolutely incredible rolling down the street. Modern chassis, classic lines. Best of both worlds? Let me know what you think in the comments! 👇

Great cause and event right here in our Backyard!

🚗 CANCER BENEFIT CRUISE-IN: THIS ONE IS PERSONAL ❤️
​This is easily one of the most important events on our calendar this year. We are incredibly proud to announce that Speed and Shine will be on-site at the Marshall Motors Cancer Benefit Cruise-In on Saturday, June 20th (Rain date: June 21st) from 10 AM – 4 PM!
​For my wife Janelle and our family, this isn't just another car show. Events exactly like this one—raising vital funds for Relay For Life and the American Cancer Society—directly support the treatments and research that played a role in Janelle's treatment. We know firsthand how devastating this disease is, and we know how powerful a community can be when it comes together to fight it.
​Last year, this incredible community raised over $13,500 for cancer research, and this year, we want to smash that record. Let’s come together, look at some incredible rides, and raise a ton of money to help end this terrible disease once and for all.
​Here’s what you need to know:
​📍 Location: 6161 Baldwin Road, Grass Lake/Waterloo Area
​🎟️ Admission: FREE for the public! Everyone is welcome.
​🚗 Open to: All makes, models, and years—boats, cars, trucks, bikes, you name it!
​🏆 Perks: The first 150 cars receive custom dash plaques.
​🎈 Family Fun: Burnout pit, vintage museum, train rides, Ferris wheel, Mel's Movie Cars, food trucks, DJ services, and tons of activities for the kids!
​Check out the full event flyer in the attached image for driving directions, donation information, and more details.
​Bring your family, bring your pride and joy, and let’s make a real difference together. We can't wait to see you there! 👊💥

When a powerhouse name in the performance industry steps up to support local car culture, the whole community wins. 🚗💨

​We caught up with Brendan Melling, Director of Innovation and Marketing at Melling, to talk about why local involvement matters so much. Melling isn't just about high-quality engine parts; they are deeply rooted right here in Jackson, and their sponsorship of the Jackson DDA Cruise-In is a massive testament to that.

​Hit play to hear Brendan break down the importance of showing up, giving back, and keeping the car community thriving on Michigan Avenue.
