Tanked up the Coronet, took her top down, + drove Miz Daisy (Metalmomma) to Morris,Iill. Shows are monthly, draws in excess of 500 cars.
About a 52 mile trip. (i gotta put tunes in her). Buddy of mine lives out there. Spent the afternoon visiting. Show opening, entrance was backed up 20 cars or so. Buddy knows everyone there, got us in the back way, even had preselected parking slots for us. He has a 80 something power wagon (clone), in beautiful shape.

I neglected to take pics of our rides at the show.
125 miles, almost all highway @ 75-80, the little street driving, with not romping on her, about 9.5 mpg. Enjoy some pics of some of the cars.

Morris eh? I too never knew. A bit of a ride, though not prohibitive, but that's what I bought it for.
Dates? Times? Cost?

Every 2nd satterday. i think entry is $10.
South of I-80, just west of I-47. Just north of the river. Enter on . bound Illinois. 'Main' st is Liberty, 2 streets w. of 47. They close downtown at 3, tow cars in the legal spots, to open the streets, allow cars in at 3. Lots of restaurants, bars, knick knack shops. Actually, a healthy small town downtown. I did see a couple of mt lots that served as a staging area for trailers.
(I see they haven't updated the site yet)
