Morton Grove, Chicago, IL: Trib Local: Antique and Classic Car Shows Coming To Morton Grove
Many of the finest and flashiest antique and classic cars will roll into Morton Grove this summer for three large-scale car shows at the Village Plaza shopping mall, 7220 W. Dempster Street (at Harlem) beginning Thursday June 16th. The shows are co-sponsored by Kappy's Restaurant, Monday Night Car Shows (MNCS) and the Morton Grove Economic Development Commission. The shows are free and open to the public.
These "works of art on wheels" include all kinds of cars and trucks dating back to the Ford Model T. The shows are family-friendly events that feature music of the era and raffles, contests and an auction of automobile products. Food and beverages will be available for purchase. The kids will enjoy being entertained by magician/comedian Jeff Bibik, a stilt walker and Wii games provided by the Morton Grove Public Library. The Morton Grove Fire Department will display fire-fighting equipment. Morton Grove's automotive-related businesses have generously supplied products for the auction and some will have their own vehicles or services on display.
The Monday Night Car Shows (MNCS) is an established organization that is based in Skokie and is managed by Rick Glickman who serves as the show's announcer and auctioneer. Members of other classic car clubs from the surrounding suburbs will also participate by displaying their vehicles.
