Spring Trip To The Ken Nagel Collection

On Saturday, April 13th, we journeyed to Plano, Illinois to see the Ken Nagel collection. There were about 27 of us that came out to view this wonderful collection of pristine automobiles. Ken has 27 vehicles that are all classified as number one with most of them have every option available at the time of sale. Every vehicle has a sign with it’s life story in front of it. Ken took the time to tell us about each and every car. He also has some very interesting memorabilia too. This was the second time that The Lemont Classic Car Club visited the Nagel Collection and it was just as interesting as it was the first time that we went there. We also had some members of the Frankfort Car Club join us on this trip. After we left the Nagel Collection we went five miles farther west to the Bull Moose Bar And Grill for lunch. This is the actual train car that was used by Teddy Roosevelt when he was campaigning for the President of the United States in the 1900's. Teddy Roosevelt was the 26th President from 1901 to 1908. This train car has been restored to it’s original condition and is absolutely beautiful and the food is just as good. If you missed this trip you missed a good one.

The Illinois Bar And Grill was just voted #24 out of 50 of the best Burgers in Chicago and a few short years ago he was voted the best burger in the Chicagoland area and that’s no lie!! Their burgers are GREAT! Thanks Frank for opening up your restaurant to the Lemont Classic Car Club. We will be starting our Sunday Cruise Nights at the “Big R” on Sunday, May 20th, from 3 to 6 PM. The time has been changed because the “Big R” has been soy will now be closing at 6 PM. You may start arriving at 2:30 PM but no earlier please.

Please call Sharen @ 708-301-8899 to sign up for any and all of these events. It’s going to be a very busy summer for The Lemont Classic Car Club again this year.

Annual Trip To The Chicago Auto Show On February 15th, we took our annual trip down to the Chicago Auto Show at McCormick Place. This year we only had 8 people that decided to go. In my opinion the show was not as good as in past years. There were only a few Classic Cars on display and there were fewer free give aways. However it was a day out. A special Thank You to Apple Chevy for giving us the free tickets again this year. We lunched at Illinois Bar And Grill and the food was great as usual. Hopefully, next year the Auto Show will be better. continued on page 8 Page 7
