And celebrated old and new cars, like Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, Bentley, Cadillac, Ferrari, Jaguar, Lotus, Morgan, McLaren, Nash, Packard, Porsche, Studebaker & Rolls-Royce. It's a 100-vehicle display of both legendary classics and superstars of today.
The popular family-friendly event includes not only the auto showcase but also entertainment by the popular Flat Cats band, a terrific on-site raffle, and an expanded Food Station.
Young attendees will enjoy exploring state-of-the-art fire and police vehicles as well.
"I have been going to car shows for 50 years and this show, without a doubt, is the best smaller show ever. The organization is outstanding. The volunteers are helpful and friendly. The music is excellent as well," said John Maxson, Riverwoods resident, and a car show enthusiast. "The variety of cars at the show are more than I have ever seen. The number of very high-end cars is fantastic!"
The event is produced by the Lake Forest/Lake Bluff Chamber of Commerce, and made possible this year with the support of Sponsors Britt Carter & Company, The Last Detail, Northern Trust, Glenview Luxury Imports, Northshore Sportscars, The Porsche Exchange, and American Place Casino.
Attendees will be able to purchase a variety of items from the "Food Station" featuring food and beverages from favorite area businesses including Clucker's Charcoal Chicken, La Plancha Loca Taqueria, Lake Bluff Brewing Company, Bonique USA Waffles, Lincoln Land Kettle Corn, The Left Bank and Suzy's Swirl.
