I am not what you’d call an auto enthusiast in the sense that I don’t regularly attend shows, meetings or gatherings, but occasionally I’m drawn by the color and shine of these vintage models and can’t resist getting a shot or two.
These photos were taken at Volo Auto Museum in Volo, Illinois and a show in Long Grove, Illinois. Volo is a great place to see famous movie and TV cars as well as all kinds of classic vehicles from military to muscle.
The Museum is open 7 days a week from 10am to 5pm and hosts many special events throughout the year including cruise-ins, concerts and festivals. I believe they have something called a Haunted Trolley Tour this September and October.
Many towns in the Chicago area host Cruise Nights and from what I understand these events are quite popular.
Speaking of curves, It would be remiss of me if I did not include this picture of Marilyn Monroe reclining on the hood of a classic auto at Volo.
Love the yellow and white photo because of it simplicity.
It certainly is a cheerful color!
Wonderful photos!
Thank you! And thanks for stopping by.
Geeze I love these colors. I love all of them and can’t believe how beautiful they are. That blond was something else. Loved this.
Thanks! Glad to be able to share these with you.
Love the colours and the lines in these. And thanks for the like on my blog 🙂
