Yes. The Cars under the Stars, is what they call it, draws quite a crowd. In fact the 63 Lemans that was featured in PHR a few months ago, is where I found it. It was a car that Tom Nelson built and a prototype for his turbo systems and a guy in Elmhurst bought it. There is one in Mt Prospect on Fridays, Downers Grove is either Thursday or Wednesday, There is a big one in Rolling Meadows at the Meiers store. That is one of the bigger ones.

Wednesday nights until Labor Day. I know it's Wednesdays but I am not sure of the final date.

I almost forgot, Downtown Lombard has a really good one on Saturday nights. That one is fairly large as well. There is one in Mundelein, but it is only certain times each month.
