Default Re: Jack Douglass Open House? Well not really....

-----Wow Darren,,,These pics really bring back memories. I probably spent thousands of hours in that building. The Coke machine had no Coke, only beer. The rear area was always full of Vettes in all levels of finish, and we used to have all kinds of other high-perf stuff hanging around. Multiple Cobras, one GT40, a few bathtub Porsches, 442s, GTOs, Camaros, Chevelles, AMG Mercedes, and even some hot rods. Those definetly were the days. Summer meant street races up and over 294, sometimes on a nightly basis. And since I only lived about three blocks away, many parties in my garage. If any of you have ever seen an "Outlaw Racer" T-shirt or jacket around Chicago, that club started at Classic Motors (the old Jack Douglass Chevrolet) and my garage.
-----I have to say that the tool boxes were no where near as nice as what I see here. Thanks for the pics, Darren!!!.......Bill S

-----Dan,,,While a whole lot nicer than when I was working there the back bays look almost exactly the same. At least, I dont see any major expansion....
