March 2005
The Chevy/Vette Fest gathers together the nation's finest show-class
Corvettes and classic Chevrolets under the capacious roof of Chicago's
McCormick Place. These cars occupy a special place in the hearts of
many American auto-lovers, and when you seen the gleaming chrome and
candy-apple paint jobs on display here, it's not hard to see why. Boasting
the country's largest indoor swap meet, the event offers the classic-car
enthusiast and weekend grease monkey a huge selection of parts, accessories
and reproductions. For many visitors, however, the fun comes in simply
ogling some of the finest slabs of motorized cheesecake ever produced
by the good people of Detroit.
