Last Sunday I attended a car show in Long Grove, Illinois, which is a northwest suburb of Chicago. Here are some of the photos I took.
1938 Cadillac Fleetwood
1949 Cadillac convertible
1967 and 1972 Ford Mustang. The poster displayed under hood of the 1967 Mustang has information about original pricing and picture of accident damage from several years ago.
1949 Chevrolet Wagon, customized. The engine was so clean, you could eat off it.
1951 Bentley, runs well, but body needs a little work.
1962 Volkswagon, note the air-cooler on right side window
Dodge Challenger, not sure of year, probably 1970 to 1972
1946 Chevrolet 1/2 Ton Pick-Up Truck
I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Thanks for sharing Ed. Those two Caddys are outstanding.

I agree with you about those Cadillacs. The 1938 Cadillac was my favorite at the show. It’s current owner told me it has 78,000 miles on the odometer, and he believes that is the total mileage. He has also driven it to Florida and back. It has sufficient power for today’s highways, is comfortable, and gets attention from other folks.

Nice selection Ed. I find the Bentley interesting in that I'm seeing more older vehicles being left in a rough state rather than restored to their original condition. The Cadillacs certainly are very well restored, which I prefer.

@jack-dodds: Though I'm a fan of modified cars, this one also saddens me. I'd prefer it with a top at stock height even with significant patina. This is not one that I would modify or customize.
