Re: Lombard 8/25/07
It's on Saturday nights.
Downers Grove was REALLY busy,this last Friday night.Probably because the week prior it was cancelled due to Main St. having it's pedwalks reconstructed,so everyone was a bit anxious this week. Lombard was "Officially" over last weekend,but they are hosting two more Saturday night cruises on Sept. 8 & 15th. Last Saturday was not a cruise night,and supposed to be all over,so I was skeptical as to what would show.We showed up at 4:00 and found car after car idling in.Alot of tri-5's especially... By 6:00 it had almost filled up,and we ended up staying until 9:00.I didn't bring my camera,but wish I did as there was some incredible iron showing up.The weather was F****** perfect! No wind,cloud or insect in the vicinity.My Chevelle felt like it wanted to go 110mph the whole way there,while never reaching the 195 degree mark. I saw cars pulling in I haven't seen all summer. My friend took a few pix of me,and she emailed them over. It really turned out to be a great evening of cars & group of people pulling in,even as we were pulling away later on.

Re: Lombard 8/25/07
A guy with a silver 1968 Corvette pulled up right behind me with a for sale sign on it for $26,500.00.He and his Mrs. went away to eat dinner for 3 hours.I had someone ask me every 15 minutes about his corvette.I just told them to wait around or write down his phone number and call him later on.
He musta had 6 seperate buyers want that corvette. It was nice!

Re: Lombard 8/25/07
Rick,
"even as we were pulling away later on." Who are you referring too? Did you actually bring someone...a passenger? Or is "we" you and the Chevelle?  Dan.

Re: Lombard 8/25/07
That black '65 Chevelle is really tough. I do believe that I see wheel rim screws in those rear 5-spokes. Tough to get a good-sized tire under the rear of one of those cars.
