Chicago Classic & Performance Auto Events

Trio of Classic Ferrari Models

As your Chicago Ferrari dealer, we at Ferrari Lake Forest pride ourselves on being the source for premium automobiles. If you’re interested in a glimpse at the wide world of high-performance vehicles or you have a soft spot for the classic auto your grandfather used to drive, there is no shortage of opportunities to see them in person. Join us as we highlight a few of the many auto shows in and around the Windy City.

Chicago Auto Show

Though the Chicago Auto Show is often thought as the event where Ford or Honda makes an announcement about their next mid-size sedan, they also routinely have supercars on display, including:

  • Aston Martin DB 11
  • Bugatti Chiron
  • Lamborghini Aventador S
  • Lotus Evora
  • McLaren 570S
  • Rolls-Royce Wraith

The Chicago Auto Show usually has a surprise or two in store as well, and it can be worth the trip just to see such a large collection of unique, high-performance, high-class automobiles.

Chicago Auto Show Globe

Cars & Cops

The Cars & Cops Car Show benefits the Chicago Police Memorial Foundation to offer financial support and assistance to the families of slain or injured Chicago police officers. Cars & Cops showcases everything from American classics to hot rods to modern exotics, and each vehicle on display will be judged by a panel of seasoned collectors and knowledgeable celebrity judges.

With no admission charges for spectators and families (donations are accepted), Cars & Cops can be a great show to take the kids to and introduce them to the world of classic cars.

Chicago Classic Auto Show

While the Chicago Auto Show is a great opportunity to see exotic cars and Cars & Cops showcases all tiers of automobile for a good cause, the Chicago Classic Auto Show is just what it sounds like: somewhere to see the vehicles of yesteryear in pristine shape. Previous years have included

  • 1953 General Motors Futurliner #10
  • 1935 Wetteroth/Schoof Special Indy Race Car
  • 1937 Rolls-Royce Phantom III Aero Coupe
  • 1967 Yenko Stinger YS-119

With over 600 domestic and foreign classic cars on display, the Chicago Classic Auto Show is worth devoting the weekend to.
