Chicago Auto Show Vintage Car Highlights

[krazykuda]

My son and I went to the Chicago Auto Show yesterday and there were a few older cars on display also...

I will post some pictures of them...

I had my regular car camera (nothing fancy, but gets the job done), and then when the battery went low, I switched over to my cell phone...

Notice the video screen in the center of the dash... Talk about predicting the future in 50 years!!! Old school vacuum tube screen...

Cool fountain on the way in... The water curves and lands in the hole at the end... Looks pretty cool in person...

Thanks for taking us along Karl. It must be at the same place as MCACN is.

Apparently they are now offering supercharged Gen 3 Hemis in crates including most of the hardware (including engine ECU) needed to transplant into an older body:

Ok, all of the above pictures were taken with my car camera (cheap Sony), now the rest from now on are the ones that I took with my cell phone...

Let me know which ones you think came out better...

Here's some better shots of the fountains that I took on the way out... They must keep a consistent pressure to be able to hit the proper holes at the end without missing and making a mess...

Cell is way better Karl

Does that mean I'm in prison??? Cell phone... The phone in my cell...

No, MCACN is in Rosemont, the Chicago Auto Show is at the McCormick Place downtown near Lake Michigan...

Rosemont is closer to O'Hare Airport... My grandma and uncle used to live by there...
