Hagerty Insurance / Nationwide Insurance car show on June 22, 2014

Posted on by Posted in Car Show

What a ride!!  Thank you one and all for coming out to our 2nd annual Hagerty Insurance / Nationwide Insurance car show in Libertyville.  Cars started rolling in around 815 am and didn’t stop until 12 noon.  For their $5 donation to Children’s Memorial Hospital, car owners were provided with a certificate for a free doughnut and free coffee from the Dunkin Donuts.  ALL the proceeds from the car show benefited Children’s Memorial Hospital so the kids won, and the attendees got a doughnut and coffee out of the deal.  No trophies were awards, but instead the awards were in the shape of gift certificates to local restaurants.  The cool cars went from 1930s and 1940s classics to the most modern Corvettes.  Some of my favorite standouts were the three wheeled race car, the VW powered truckster kit car, the Mini, the MG and obviously the restored classics.

Next events are:  Cruise nights this Wednesday in Schaumburg, on Thursday in Schiller Park ($50 cash award,) and the next LARGE car show is July 26th in Island Lake for their annual Community LakeFest car show/fireworks over the lake!  Come join in the fun!!

North Shore Corvette Club’s ANNUAL Father’s Day Car Show

Posted on by Posted in Car Show

The North Shore Corvette Club’s Father’s Day Car Show benefiting our Veterans on June 15th, was a huge hit.  With the largest turnout of cars and the weather cooperating, the day was a hit with lots of cars, lots of prizes and lots of winners.  Spectators saw some cool cars from the newest Corvette to a Model T.  Thank you to EVERYONE who came out and supported the event.  Over $560 was raised from the 50/50 raffle and half of that went to support the Veterans and the other half was taken home by the lucky winner.  Raffle prizes included parts discounts, full tire sets, cash, food and almost anything else you could think of.
