Default ELMHURST Cool Cars Under the Stars Schedule

Got the flyer in the mail today - another season ready to begin!
Here's the schedule for the season with the "theme"

June 1 - Dust Off Night
June 8 - Ford/Lincoln/Mercury Night
June 15 - 50's, 60's & 70's Night
June 22 - Anitque Night (pre- 1950)
June 28 - Muscle/StreetRod/ProStreet Night

July 6 - Mopar/AMC Night
July 13 - Cadillac/LaSalle/Packard/Pierce Arrow/Imperial Night
July 20 - Chevy Night
July 27 - CORVETTE NIGHT (note - no year requirements this year!)

Aug 3 - Buick / Olds / Pontiac Night
Aug 10 - Convertible Night
Aug 17 - Import / Air Cooled / Motorcycle Night
Aug 24 - Military and Emergency Vehicle Night
Aug 31 - Last Night! Come One, Come All

Most nights have a "pre-1990" - except Corvette Night - I think they listened!!

For those not familiar with the event - it's held every Wednesday night (7-9 pm...but get there early if you want a decent parking spot) in downtown Elmhurst on York and Addison Roads just north of the train tracks (a few blocks south of North Ave.)

Having been to the Elmhurst car shows from the beginning I can say they seem to have gone down in quantity and quality of cars. Plus the year cutoff is just silly.

BRAD,

Thansk for posting this brother. Yeah they cut 2 to 3 weeks off but its not the end of the world as we always have LEMONT (always a HUGE TURNOUT) and even BESNSENVILLE on WEDS. nights also. Also, let's remember that DOWNERS GROVE on friday nights and ROLLING MEADOWS both ROCK and I am a regular at LOMBARD on Saturday nights and that always starts also in JUNE and ends at the end of August!!!

There's also an all new one! Augustino's at Rt. 59 and Rt. 64 (North Avenue) in West Chicago begins week after next. This will be held on the 1st and 3rd Fridays of each month. A small entry fee will 100% benefit different charities each month! This cruise night is co-hosted by the Chicago Corvette Club and is open to all makes and models, but there will be a special Corvette only parking area. Trophies and a 50/50 raffle prize will be awarded each night.

Augustino's has great food at very reasonable prices, and also serves beer!

I've been to the the Military and Emergency vehicle night. It's pretty cool. For me, basically for cars to overtake the downtown area of Elmhurst is amazing! Anyway if anyone comes to the M/EV night stop by the section where I am at across from AL's Hobby shop and say Hi!. I have the the old Dupage County squad (see avatar)

i went a couple of times last year, got pulled over on York in my cadillac because they claim to do it every week just to keep everybody in check. they checked my insurance and reg. papers and let me go and told me to keep all 4 wheels on the ground.

Hey guys! I am new to the Corvette forum but Am very active On the C3VR forum. I have attended almost all of the Cruise nights last year and Lemont is one of my Favorites! I go to the Wheaton Cruise night the most because I live in Wheaton. Its one of the smaller cruises but A ton of spectators come to it. I will attend the Augustinos Cruise in this summer to see how nice that one is. I look forward to seeing you at the cruise night this summer!
- Tom
