MONDAY MOTORHEADS By Alex V. Hernandez Staff Reporter
The seventh season of Monday Night Car Shows in Skokie’s has come to a close.The fifteen-night summer event is one of the more popular car shows in the northwest suburbs, attracting around 400 vehicles every week with an average of between 750 and 1,500 people each week.This series, based out of the Westfield Old Orchard parking lot across the street from Niles North High School, features live music, food vendors, and raffles. “I remember when we were just twenty cars parked on Oakton,” said Rick Glickman, the president and founder of Monday Night Car Shows.“I really appreciate everyone and all their
help since we started this.” Glickman founded the non-forprofit organization dedicated to classic cars about three years ago with the goal of advancing the classic car hobbyist community through community awareness, camaraderie, and contributions to programs that teach automotive skills to the next generation through scholarships. The fifteen shows usually begin in May and run through the beginning of September from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m. The penultimate car show of the 2013 season was held Aug. 26 and featured classic cars dating back to as early as the Jazz Age. “These newer cars all look alike,” said Marty Brown. He owns a 1930’s two-door ford sedan that he restored
to pristine condition and is part of a car club that specializes in automobiles from the early half of the 20th century. “Driving these cars you’re really in a fishbowl, people looking in and asking questions about it. I think that people really like the antique style.” Glickman said that he hopes that next year’s event grows to more cars and attendees and the night of the second to last event asked members to be sure to tell Westfield that they wanted the car show to return in 2014. “It’s really interesting,” said Tyler Monte, 12. His parents brought him to the car show and he said his favorite cars there were the Corvettes.“I really like those because my favorite Transformer, Sideswipe, he’s a Corvette.”
