See You Down The Road

After many years serving the classic car community, Wisconsin Collector Car will be shutting down at the end of 2024. Thank you for all of the car show memories!

    I’ll try to send all at once, very tiring. Might be delayed, beacuse I have to go take a test at the DMV next week.

    Yes, the food line is long, I warn ALL of you. If you think you might get hungry in an hour or so. Get in line.

    Greetings McHenry …

    Oh do I have memories. I have spent many, many freezing cold, rainy days at the McHenry County Fairgrounds pouring over some old, rusty motorcycle junk only to get further frozen riding back home to Milwaukee in the rain. I am almost proud to say that I have finally given that up as a dumb idea.

    I own two collector type cars. If there is some way to post a photo, or insert an avatar, I will show them to you. The first is a homemade three wheeled car. I wanted it to look like the Lotus and Jimmy Clark drove at Indy from 1963 to 1965. It is a perpetual work in progress and is never finished. It will be getting an electronic ignition this weekend, and maybe some work in the interior also.

    The second on is a French Citroen called the 2CV. I know that there is quite a group of Citroen owners in the Crystal Lake area and I have meet with them once or twice. Just last month I tried to begin a Citroen Owners of Wisconsin club by setting up a Yahoo List called “CitroWisc”. There are so few of us tha nodoby knows anyone else and no attempts are ever made to get together. Until now. If anyone reads this who knows of a Citroen owner in Wisconsin, or if you northern Illinois guys want to jump in, send me your email address and I will send you an invitation and instructions on how to find the list.

    I just checked the calendar for August 6. In addition to being the weekend before the MicroCar and MiniCar Nationals in Crystal Lake, it is a really busy weekend. So, I will have to sort through all of the options to see if I can go. But, I like that Railway Museum show very much. You can always tell a good show when the food is good. And, the food line at the Transport Museum was a mile long! As I recall, they even had good pizza.

    Greetings everyone … I am glad to be on the list!

    Welcome Washbush,

    The tour would probably be from Woodstock, McHenry, or Crystal Lake areas since I am a McHenry man myself. It would start off with breakfast (pay on you own) and a fairly short tour to Union (you wan’t good spots.)

    Also, Washbush, since you just joined 6+ Mins. ago, you are now invited to this tour/ralley/show with the WI Collector Car Club. The Forum is on the first page, print it our and send it in. REMEMBER, we are club # 247 not, #7 as the form indicated, hope you can make it. We will be parked this year in Electric Av. section where there is a lot of shade. We will be next to the AACA, Chevy & Model T (?) clubs.

    What car do you own?
