ILLINOIS: Classic car showroom coming to Plainfield

From The Herald News: Classic car showroom coming to Plainfield PLAINFIELD — If you’re in the market for classic cars, you won’t have to go far for it.

The Plainfield Village Board on Monday approved a special-use ordinance for a planned development to allow for the sale of classic cars at the Rod Baker showroom on Joliet Road and Dillman Street. Besides the potential sale of classic cars, Rod Baker will offer minor repair and restoration work out of the facility.

Village planner Michael Garrigan said the location on 15303 S. Joliet Road housed the Rod Baker Ford dealership before the business relocated to its current site at 16101 S. Route 30.

“The current space is configured for a dealership and the applicant is currently storing classic vehicles in the proposed space,” said Garrigan.

He noted that Rod Baker will only use the space at 15303 S. Joliet Road for a showroom and will not actually be engaging in sales. All sales transactions will continue to be handled at the existing Rod Baker on Route 30.

He adds that the showroom will display around six to eight classic cars. Per the agreement, storage or sale of new and non-classic cars will not be permitted on premises.
