We have had some awesome, jaw dropping Oldsmobiles there in the past. In 2019 we had a W-31 with the W-27 Rear end fresh from a guys barn in the show. And on the other side we had a beautiful W-30 Convertible.

You never know what amazing Olds will be at the show.

One thing that is not even close to free is the Admission Price.............$30.... and that is for one day and parking not included!!

It's worth every penny! For many of us, this show is like the Super Bowl. Cannot wait to see old and new friends and the incredible Oldsmobiles that'll be on display. My family has been going every year and we make a weekend of it with the car show, shopping across the street, and of course a dinner at Gibson's.

That yellow W-31 looks like the definition of ridden hard and put away wet. Always cool to see untouched cars though.

I have never been to this show but it looks like a good one. Is it held every year at the same place? How long has it been going on?

no1oldsfan

If you are hip to YouTube look it up on there. Looks like an excellent show to attend.

It's worth it! Let us know where you can see this quantity and quality of cars in one place for less...this year, there will be more 66-67 W30 cars here in one place than have ever been assembled...

I fly in from Pittsburgh every year and stay two or three nights. That $30 admission is nothing for all of the awesomeness that is at this show each year. The special displays that they coordinate and rarity of the cars make this a car event like no other. Highly recommended!

This is the 12th show. It is always the weekend before Thanksgiving here in the US!

75 W-30 H/O

I'm crossing my fingers that the mask mandate is dropped by then. If you have a chance to go to this show, DO IT. It’s always the highlight of my car show season.

Burd

I’d like to see the musclecars, but all the corvettes I don’t care if I ever see another one.

no1oldsfan

I am the same about mustangs. There isn't one single mustang that I would stop and look at. Not one. Seen one seen them all. To each their own though. The videos on YouTube it sure looks like a great show. I didn't realize that there is a bicycle area as well. Does anyone know if that is always there?

TheAutoArchaeologist

Yes, every year there is a Muscle Bikes area. This year we also have a dirt bike area.

75 W-30 H/O

From 2017

Burd

I wonder if the Schwinn Krate bikes make it. They do here at Autorama.

Burd

it’s not a medical place, they are still weairing masks, I wouldn’t go.
what you should worry about there is getting shot. Lol

75 W-30 H/O

Lots of them.

75 W-30 H/O

Lol! It's in Rosemont, by the airport. Nice area and pretty safe. If it was in Chicago I wouldn't go.

TheAutoArchaeologist

Yes there is a mask mandate at this moment, we will have signs posted about it and that's it. We will not have security or such hounding people about it if you take it off.

If you would like to see more pics from the event, I have several thousand images from past shows.

And we have tons of Krate Bikes.

I’d like to be there. That is some cool stuff!

Stefano

Thanks for all of the kind words. Bob Ashton and his team work very diligently at making this the best possible show it can be for each and every year. This will be our 12th year with approx 550 cars in attendance. Approx 75% have never been shown at this event, ever.

Rosemont is a quick shuttle ride from the O’hare airport. It is a convention type of area/town which boarders the west end of Chicago and is very safe and clean. It features some of the very best restaurants, a casino and other things to do, as well as close proximity to Chicago for Christmas shopping on state street. Hard core enthusiasts usually don’t leave the event for very long as there is so much to see and people to talk to that two days is never enough.

Discount tickets are available via certain sponsors for $25.00 .

Stop by the NicKey Performance display and say hello. Check out the W-31 we will have on display.

Myself and two of my brothers worked for a Schwinn dealer. Trust me I know Schwinn's. Schwinn fakes are as deep as cars. I delivered papers on an Orange Krate. Ha ha.

Jon442

I plan to be there. This will be our 4th time. It is definitely the highlight of the year.

Greg Rogers

I saw in another for sale thread about someone bringing a bumper to the meet to sell? Is there a swap meet also.? I saw that Vets can get free admission on Sunday... I might just go, it looks great!

TheAutoArchaeologist

Thankfully these are just originals. The owner of the show, and the guy who runs the display only deal in original ones, unless they are to be ridden.

TheAutoArchaeologist

There is no swap meet, but people bring parts for others since we have cars from all around the country coming.

Greg Rogers

Sweet, I think I will go on Sunday.

Does anybody know the parking garage height limit? I have a small lift on my Chevy and don't want to find out the hard way.
