Morris car show October 14th

Usually a really big show had over 900 cars last year and HUGE swap meet and used car corral, they also raffle off a car every year. Last year was I think a 71 or 72 El camino with a 454 in fairly good shape, year before was a triple black 71 monte carlo with something like 60,000 original miles.

Sunday, October 14
Morris Fall Classic Car Show
Lyondell Chemical Recreation area, Morris, Illinois
8-4 pm.

Yes, $15 the day of show, and $10 if pre-register.

Its definatly a good show, you go home tired from all the walking between the show and swap.
I should be there again this year

Re: Morris car show October 14th

Yes, It was entered, I was in the modified class.
It was my first year my car was in it, I usually just go to the swap.
This year I plan to take me a trophy.

Re: Morris car show October 14th

I was there but didnt bring the car was raining fairly good when I left, stayed till around 130 and I dont think I won the impala since I never got a phone call. Was better than I thought but still had a lot less cars than last year, and I was laughing at the pontiac aztec with the general lee them.

Re: Morris car show October 14th

are you serious about the aztec? that's so stupid! Sorry, i didn't go...really wanted to but because it was raining i was hoping that it would let up in the morn. Go fig the idiots who predict the weather, can't even explain why it rains....
I guess that's it for the season
time to put the cars away....or unless move out west where it's sunny and warm ...say like Phoniex..ha...
