I have a bunch of friends showing cars this weekend, two of them are part of a US30 section. Mike Alberts will have his 67 yellow/black Camaro there.

Mike's Camaro is Legendary! As a teenager I had thought it was a Motion Car becuase of the way it was striped.

Nice pic of the car, I recognize that Nova too.

I'll probably go Saturday.

Show was great, something for everybody. The US30 section had a lot of cars, my favorite section.

I think Mike Alberts Camaro is trying to outdo the "Shake Rattle & Run" 57 Chevy for longevity.

They had an Ed Roth display, Obitron some other cars, and some Barris Munster cars. I was most interested in the US30 section, there were maybe 30 cars in that area.

Here are some pics a buddy took:

That would be a good reason to head back to Rosemont in early spring......

Damn cool stuff, thanks for the pics. I know what you mean about not taking pics. I can walk all around MCACN with a camera in my pocket and be so absorbed in what I am looking at to not think about taking pics.:dunno:

WoW is always a diverse mix of cars, some MCACN type cars, lots of modified muscle cars, imports, a few super cars, motorcycle section, some donks, a low rider section, truck section, and upstairs was mostly late model imports that were tricked out. Show was the biggest I've ever seen it.

I didn’t realize the show was in Rosemont? I’m looking at the pics and thought to myself, I recognize that backdrop!!!!

Sadly, one of the guys who showed his car in the US30 section died on the way home from the show.

Friends are saying he may have had a medical issue and then crashed. RIP Wally Staszko.

Per a buddy the guy was following another WoW show car, rear ended it, and then when off the road, was seenslumped over the steering wheel. Sad deal.
