Chevy Vettefest Chicago
Well now...I was impressed. The new Vettefest ownership should be commended for the major improvement it has achieved with this years show. It's the first time in years I have needed more than 2 hours to see the show, and was impressed with it's size and organazation. DEFINITLY bigger, more interesting entries, a larger "for sale" area, and well placed vendors & swap meet. Everything from customs, car collections, and hotrods to originals. C1's and C-2's were well represented, as were many Camaro's and Chevelle's. I would always like to see MORE C-3's, but that goes for any show I attend. Just partial I guess. 
Over all...a GREAT show expierence that I would recommend. Congrats to the new ownership....
Keep up the good work. 
IMHO you have brought a dieing icon back to life!!!!

I went on Saturday with the wife. MUCH BIGGER than the last few I've gone to. The new ownership said they would improve on it and they kept their word. After 3 hours, we still hadn't seen it all. They had not only Corvettes, but Nickey cars and Yenko cars that brought back some distant memories of cruising the Steak 'N Shakes back in High School and just dreaming of having a car "like that" one day.
Looking forward to what these owners do for the show in in the future.

And next Spring it returns to downtown. And for the fall it goes back to Rosemont 
Actually, the nember of vendors was about half of the past spring show, but in a much smaller room, it makes the event seem larger.
