Car Show Parking Lot Directions

The Cruise Day Car Show is hosted in the south parking lot of the McLaren Glass House Building at the southeast corner of 16 Mile (Metro Parkway) and Gratiot Avenue.  Access to the Parking Lot is only available through the driveway from Shiell Street, due to safety reasons.

Please use the maps and directions below to find your way to the parking lot.  Signage will also be posted to assist.

  • Drive North on Gratiot Avenue and turn right onto Shiell Street.  Shiell Street is the last street before Metro Parkway.
  • Turn Left into the parking lot and check in at the Cruise Tent that will be on the west side of the driveway.

If, for some reason, you miss the turn onto Shiell Street, don't worry.  You can easily access the driveway from Metro Parkway by following these directions:

  • Turn Right onto Metro Parkway
  • Turn Right onto S. Nunneley Road
  • Instead of turning right into the McLaren Parking Lot, please continue straight on Nunneley
  • Turn Right onto North Schafer Street
  • Turn Right onto Shiell Street
  • Turn Right into the parking lot and check in at the Cruise Tent that will be on the west side of the driveway
