Will have a great display of Hertz memorabilia. Ever seen the Speedometer locks? Will have both the two kinds used on display Plus a MICO Master Cylinder and original segmented rear brake shoes
I am curious why the segmented brake shoes are displayed with other Hertz specific items ? If it is because of the relationship with the Mico master cylinders shouldn't you also show the regular brake pads used to eliminate the Mico master cylinder given most Hertz cars did not use the Mico?

It’s just to show with the MICO master cylinder and part of the story of the Hertz cars, I don’t have a set of Regular brake pads to show

Never had a problem walking around, BillMurray’s Caddy Shack has great bar food , located behind the Holiday Inn, if you want to go upscale, there’s Gibson’s or Ruth Chris Steakhouse, also other stuff in between price wise

As far as I'm concerned it is  safe. We usually stay at the Crown Plaza and walk.  But here is some data to glean over if you want to. http://www.city-data.com/city/Rosemont-Illinois.html    Gary

My Shelby is staying home, but I'll have an SCJ Cougar Eliminator in the Class of '70 display. Seems like they have a great show lined up this year. Hertz exhibit should be a highlight.

When I walked in one year and saw the rows of Ebody HEMI verts that just spoke volumes of the quality and rarity of cars Bob Ashton draws to this show. Then the unveiling of the Green Hornet, tony Kings 69 black prototype GT500 and other cars like Brian's 67 GT500 vert tells you all you need to know about this show-it's a can't miss. It is one of a few shows I can get  my wife out of state to go to on a yearly basis. I am working on a "part" as a favor right now that will be on the 1963 Mustang II prototype that will be there.

What a Hertz owner encounters in a near death experience?
"Low she sits on five spoke wheels
Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"
