914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Chicagoland Petroleum show Oct 31st

Posted by: itsa914 Oct 29 2004, 08:08 AM

The Chicagoland Petroleum and Advertising Show is this Sunday the 31st in Peotone, IL at the Will County Fairgrounds. Earlybirds open at 6:30am ($20 to get in) or regular admission from 8am- 2pm ($5 to get in)

There are aprrox 96 vendors inside along with spaces outside. The weather is suppose to be good (no rain). I was really into collecting this stuff about 6yrs ago and have since sold off a lot of my collection but it is still fun to go see what is out there. I plan to be there between 8 & 9am. I will take the camera and post some pictures if people are interested.

Directions take I-57 to Exit 327 then go East 1 mile and follow the signs.

Yep, signs, pumps, globes, just a lot of old advertising related to automobiles, pretty much anything else gas stations & car dealers. I love antique / vintage car stuff and such (hum, I drive 1970 914 ). I haven't seen a car there for sale but you do find some nice car parts.
