Forest Park Hosts Their First Cruise Night

The weather was good, the cars were cool, and the chicks were hot.  The next week on Tuesday should also be a great weather day.  This event is scheduled to be every Tuesday in Forest Park from Night 6:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m., Madison Street at Constitution Court (parking is free for this).  There was a good selection of cars on display, though Chevy's seemed to be the favorite on this opening night.  There were some beautiful cars to see and close to Chicago.  The next event at the same location is June 1st.


Here's a 1961 Chevrolet Impala with a 502 cubic inch Chevy engine owned by John Ramm.

John Ramm has owned this car for some 41 years, perhaps given to him on 5th birthday?  John has done all the work on this Boulevard Beauty and can tell just about all there is to know about its creation.  If John were on the Board of GM they would probably have never gone under and never have quit the Indy 500 like some panty wastes.

The car admirers enjoyed the show.  I wonder if these Chevrolets were given to some of these folks instead of failed General Motors stocks....I should get one then !!!!!!

The Honorable Mayor of Forest Park Anthony Calderone inspects this
Chevrolet engine for its true potential.

The Mayor did not bother to check on the vehicle registration tag since the car is from Oak Park.  These might make good engines for the Police department and they could help remove snow in the winter with their heat and exhaust.

and good luck.

The Kazzbarr was filled with patrons this night and having the best car of the night in front doesn't hurt business either.  The owner promised John Ramm a free beer for having his car here, I hope it was a cold one.
