The Chicago World of Wheels is one of the largest indoor cars show in the country. race, custom, hot rod, lowrider, tv, and movie vehicles of all types as well as custom motorcycles and tuner cars all migrate to the Windy City to play a part of this historic event. In recent years collectable bicycles have also joined in on the fun. Nostalgia Drag World has been covering this show for many years and must say this year’s crowd was one of largest in recent memory.
Besides getting to see and talk to Henry Winkler aka “the Fonz” our favorite part of this year’s event was the tribute to US 30 dragstrip. Over 30 cars that at one time or another raced down this famed racetrack were put together in a cool setting with lots of memorabilia and a lot of the original drivers and crew members. At the front of the US 30 display was the Shake Rattle and Run 57 Chevy. This iconic car has been owned and raced by the Messino family since it was new. This car is still racing today and is currently being driven by Pro Stock pilot Kevin Lawrence. We invite you to sit back and enjoy the pictures.
