Default "Shake Rattle and Run"

Anybody that grew up in the Chicago area in the 60's know what happened to the 57 Chev "Shake Rattle and Run"????......last time I saw it was probably 10-15 years ago at the Grove......left the line so hard that it popped the chrome strips off the quarters.....

I think it's on the show circuit around the Chicago area now. Been a while since I've seen it.

I was just thinking about that car this weekend at Super Chevy Joliet when I seen "NO BIG THING" there. Those cars had to be two of the most popular race cars in the Chicago area.

Bob it was the real car. I talked to the owner and his friend used to own it and he was able to buy it from him. Yes it was a Vespa I forgot how small and outrageous that car was. The car was in the Auto Zone tent I will try and find out what the owners name was.
