I'm going to post this in the General Discussion, and later once all the details have been worked out and a flyer has been created, another thread will be posted in the Car Show/Events section with the event flyer and additional information.
The past month I've been in contact with the Illinois Railway Museum (IRM), working out details and having discussions with them to have our 5th Annual C Body Show on their premises. They have been great to work with so far, and genuinely appear to want to have us there.
As mentioned above, the date is not set, but will it be held in June.
We will have designated parking within the museum grounds near the train depot, which will also give a nice backdrop for pictures. (see map)
The IRM has many buildings on their property, consisting of trains, streetcars, trolleys and other types of vehicles as well as other things to do that would appeal to just about anyone.
They also have operational train rides on their own private 4 mile track that anyone can take.
During the month of June, they will be operating the steam locomotives on the track.
Last year we saw too many car shows cancelled due to the pandemic. Even our 4th annual C Body Show had some fallout. But hey, that's in the past now.
Lets make 2021 the best C Body Show for everyone to enjoy.

but that sounds like a great location. I’ve done crazier things! I would like to think my Fury is running by then but who knows!?
