NEW Indoor Car Show in Chicago in November?
 

A simple question to the sYc Family;

If there was to be a brand new car show in the Chicago area in November 2009, with an emphasis on not only Chevys and Corvettes, but ALL makes and models of our favorite cars, what do you think would be a good name for it?

Couple of points to ponder.

1. The name needs to be short and direct.
2. It needs to not use any trademarked names.
3. It should be able to be used in a differant (or additional) markets at a later date.
4. Word(s) in the title need to be popular in searches such as google etc.
5. It needs to reflect a new beginning without forgetting the past.

I know, I know...now I'm getting picky!

"Hi-Perf Chevy Fest" sponsored by Nickey your original Hi-Perf dealer.

Re: NEW Indoor Car Show in Chicago in November?
 

How about having it 2 weeks earlier due to Thanksgiving plans and more important nasty weather, traveling with a trailer and important cargo. It has not been fun the last 2 years. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Why Nov at all? Late Sept or early Oct the weather is much better and more predictable and I'd bet the turnout would be even better.

I would vote for earlier also.

Depending on where it would be held...a lot of dates "sell out" years ahead....also, most convention centers will not run similar shows close together...

Looking at the Donald Stephens center


Available dates after July for 2009 are:

August 15-16

September 13-14
September 19-20
September 26-27

October 10-11
October 31-Nov. 1

It still shows that Vettefest is at the center...

Elite Muscle Expo
or
Elite Muscle Classic

Re: NEW Indoor Car Show in Chicago in November?
 

Curious how Bob would use the ALL the square footage at Donald Stephens center, IF show was opened to ALL brands of Classic American muscle.

Given how the show has so many misc Corvettes, taking up ??? percent of the floor.....and then the misc Chevy brands. The swap meet vendors take up the rest.

How do you propose cutting back on Vettes and Chevys to accomodate everybody else????????

'midwest's largest indoor american car show'. decide over time how to filter what gets in and what does not. make sure you have a 'day2 modified' section, and have judges for that! date code correct cherry bombs and out of production traction bars, correct old school tires (kidding...or am I?)
