Another FIVE Reasons to Join us November 23-24.
Hopefully by now you have received your new 88 page MCACN magazine. We mailed on the 17th, so if you are on our mailing list you should have it or should receive it any day now. If you aren't, perhaps you picked one up at the Mecum Chicago auction. (I distributed 1,200 of them!). If you aren't on our mailing list, sign up now here; We are way too busy to mail you one at this point, but we will be uploading the entire magazine to our website soon.
The primary purpose of our magazine is to convince you to join us when we return to the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois, just minutes from the Chicago O'Hare airport. There are a LOT of reasons in there, no matter what make or model you lean toward, but believe me when I say, it is a mere sampling of what we have lined up for our 11th Annual show.
Here is some stuff that isn't in the magazine that you will see;
#1; 1966 Ford Alloy Body AM GT40/1; Since our inception, we have had the honor of hosting several very real GT40's. This year we have one of the two alloy body GT40's. This is the actual car that ran the Sebring race and LeMans test days in 1966. It was part of the Alan Mann race team. How's that for significant? The owner has spent over 40 years bringing this car back to its original glory, and has shown it only at Pebble Beach several years ago. You'll find this one in our Ford & Mercury Total Performance Invitational display.
#2; Richard Petty #43 Superbird; YES....THE Richard Petty Superbird! You may have heard about this one. Joining us from the Todd Werner Collection, this incredibly historical automobile will be lined up with the Ramo Stott Superbird, the Bobby Isaac K and K Daytona and the recently restored Marty Robbins Daytona in our Aero Warriors 50th Anniversary display, Sponsored by The Wellborn Muscle Car Museum. And don't forget Gary and Pam Beineke's "What If" '71 Wing Cars and the two additional blocks of Daytona's and Superbirds!
#3; Studebaker Legends; Again this year, Ed George along with Bob Palma, the Studebaker Museum and a whole crew of awesome folks have raised the bar with another great group of Studeys. Among them is one joining us from Arizona that will be shown for the very first time after an extensive restoration. To say this one has history would be a major understatement. Add an in-progress rolling chassis and live hand painted lettering on one of the display cars and well...you get the picture!
#4; Mopar E-Body Convertibles; We told you about the entire ROW of B-Body Mopar convertibles in our magazine, which includes three of the four 1970 426 Hemi 'Runners, but don't think for a minute that we are overlooking its E-Body brother! And YES...the 426 Hemi will be represented here also, along with an FC7 N96 Challenger AND one of the brightest topless 'cuda's you have ever seen.
#5; And Don't Forget The KIDS! Our friends at Auto World have stepped up again to help us make the MCACN experience one to remember for the kids too. This year, they are supplying us with some awesome model car kits for our Model Car Make and Take. The kids get to build their very own model car right at the show, with assistance from master model builder Charlie Kroll. And then they get to take it home. YES...this is FREE, as is Admission for ALL kids, 12 and under accompanied by an Adult. And of course we also have our Hagerty Operation Ignite Youth Judging, the coloring "contest" (everyone wins!), the Hot Wheels racing and the fun Scavenger Hunt! ALL Free and ALL Fun!
We are now down to the real countdown with less than 30 days until showtime. Cars are being finished, trailers and big orange Reliable Carriers trucks are being loaded and people are cleaning and polishing nationwide.
Please plan on joining us Saturday, November 23, from 9 am - 9 pm and Sunday, November 24, from 9 am - 5 pm. See www.mcacn.com for more show information along with Advance Sale ticket outlet locations and a Pre-Sale online ticket link, along with direct booking links for the aLoft which has availability as of this writing for rooms at the special MCACN Official Host Hotel rates.
Thank You and please bring your friends and family.
