car show alert: Muscle Car & Corvette Nationals presented by Mecum
Dates: November 22 & 23rd, 2014
Where: Donald E Stephens Convention Center, Rosemont IL.
more info at: www.mcacn.com
Ticket price at door is 20 per ticket. Parking lot is across from event and charges per hour. (it's automated and you pay at pedestrian entrance/exit.
Every year this show get better and better. Not one year has the event held the same attraction. Every year a different theme is added.
Was there last year and it was the Buick theme from the 60s of every array of color and option choices was there. Plus the Nickey cars of the past and present was there. The previous year was a tribute section to the Sox & Martin vehicles and 6 of 8 orginal 69 trans ams was at the entrance way! (man i wish i took pictures then, it was a awesome experience because i know i'll never see that group like that again!)
Many special cars are here from all years, makes and models. There was a 70s sections that included many 2nd gens birds.
Last year i saw a red camaro hertiage car/ all original/ with 1 owner. Was wanting to talk to the owner but never got the chance. Saw even a 91-92 formula 350 at the show and that was nice as well.
Hopefully we will find more of our generation there.
Those going please let me know, as it would be nice to get a group gathering as of the time of ol'. This will most likely be one of the last car shows of the year so I hope we can all gather at this event for one last hurrah to the year with classic muscle...

Well it was a fun. Alot of different themes again. Always something different each year. Saw a the 91 formula firehawk that didn't sell at mecum there. a 89 TTA in the indy pace car lineup. Surprisingly alot of people was in the "barn find" area. So many "real" cars for sale there, like a shelby gt 500, a chevy nova 396/375hp w/4spd, A AAR cuda. Just unreal! Also another car was unreal was a "11" mile '63 Impala! I still can't wrap my head around that! Enjoy some of the pics...
