In 1991 the Cruise Above the Clouds Car Show was organized as a Chamber of
Commerce event in Woodland Park, Colorado, which is 20 miles northwest of
Colorado Springs on Highway 24.  At the first show only five cars were entered.  When
the Chamber of Commerce withdrew from sponsoring the Cruise Above the Clouds
Car Show in 1998, the Above the Clouds Cruisers Car Club made a commitment to
continue it.  Since then, the Car Show has grown to a two-day show with 200 to 250
cars participating and hundreds of spectators attending. Located in the heart of
Woodland Park near City Hall, the Cruise Above the Clouds Car Show is an annual
event on the third Saturday in September.  It is an open show that can accommodate
300 vehicles.  The net proceeds from this event are donated to local  charities.
