Stock and modified cars from all decades will be on display at Moraine Valley Community College’s 2nd Annual Car Show on Saturday, Sept. 8, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Automotive Technology department also will host an Open House during the show.
Cars will be parked in the lot next to Building T, which is just east of the 111th St. entrance of the main campus, 9000 W. College Parkway, Palos Hills. Spectators also will enjoy live music provided by Analog Chain from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., split-the-pot and drawings for prizes, and food trucks. The car show is free to spectators, but proceeds from the car show will support scholarships for automotive technology students.
Anyone interested in learning more about the Automotive Technology program at Moraine Valley can attend an Open House in Building T, Room T600 from 10 a.m.-noon. Guests can tour the auto lab and classrooms, and talk to faculty and current students.
Car enthusiasts who have any make or model car to display are invited to enter the show to win one of 36 trophies. First-place and runner-up trophies will be presented for stock and modified cars in each decade beginning with 1940. All cars made prior to 1940 will be judged as one category. Trophies also will be awarded for Best in Show, People’s Choice, Veteran Owned, and Best Interior, Exterior, Engine, Car, Truck, Antique, and Classic Car.
