2008 Super Chevy Show Joliet - Jivin' In Joliet

Project American Heroes 2 Gets Unveiled At The Illinois Super Chevy ShowWhat a great event! The Super Chevy Joliet show rolled into town at the Route 66 Raceway, and so did the American iron from all over the mid-western states. By all definitions, the show was a success. Project American Heroes 2, our '69 Camaro built for the benefit of the Armed Forces Foundation by the Route 66 Motorsports crew (and finished in record time), was unveiled at the Joliet show. The Super Chevy attendees' reaction was everything we hoped for-the crowds were so thick around the Camaro when it was on display, that it was hard for anyone to snap a shot!

And then the rains came later in the afternoon-the bright red '69 Camaro sure received it's baptism that day. While other vehicles scattered and looked for shelter or trailers, the Camaro stayed put and received its first wash job, whether it wanted it or not. That was Saturday. On Sunday the sky was blue and there were 100 more vehicles that showed up for the car show than on Saturday. Truth be told, there were more magazine feature-quality cars at the Joliet show than at the California show. The downside was there were so many cool cars, we just didn't have enough time to photograph them all. To all sharp-looking Chevy owners, come back next year; we'll get your cars then.
