If you think the Elburn Lions Club show was big you ain't seen nothin'.

http://morrislionsclub.com/2017-fall-classic-car-show

The Morris Lions Club holds an annual Fall Classic Car Show at LyondellBasell Recreation Area each year. It is one of the largest car shows in the area, it features not only up to 1225 classic show cars, but also offers a Swap Meet and Car Corral for those wishing to browse or buy cars or car related items. The many food vendors will be waiting as well with a variety of goodies to round out a wonderful day. The Car Show is located 5 miles East of Morris, on IL Route 6 at Tabler Road. This year’s show will be on Sunday, October 8th, 2017, with a rain date of October 15th, 2017.

Show car owners can register their cars from 7 A.M. until Noon. This is a judged show, featuring 43 classes with 3 awards per class, for a $20 registration fee for those not already pre-registered. Eight special awards will also be given, such as Best Display, Club Participation, and Longest Distance Traveled to the show. Also, each year a set amount of show cars will receive Dash plaques, as they register their cars.

Spectators can attend for a $5.00 donation, and will enjoy seeing the cars, shopping at the Swap Meet and Car Corral, and visiting the many food vendors. Tickets will be available for the Raffle Car. Raffle Car tickets are $5.00 each, 3 for $10, or 7 for $20.00. 50/50 tickets will also be available for $1.00 each or 6 for $5.00.

Morris Lions take pride in the fact that 100% of the profits from the show, the raffle car, and the 50/50 drawing all go back into the community.

My wife and I went and had a fantastic time. The weather was great and place was jam packed. Lots of great cars to see.

I made it down at 10am and there was a long line of people in the last parking lot waiting for a shuttle to take them into the show. I decided to just keep going along Route 6 and took the long way home up 47. So many cool cars passed me coming the opposite way that I felt like I had a good preview.

Next year I’ll stick with the Lions Club show in Elburn, 400 cars and much more doable (for me at least).

Ended up At the Sweet Caroline’s show in Schaumburg about 5 miles from home (saw Moparjimmy)…

Was the yellow C5 that wrecked leaving the show a forum member?
