My friend Bill Cooke(retired Ford employee) usually  hits all the major shows and takes great pics. While I take a lot of pics he does with a nice camera and never disappoints as his photos are usually Ford heavy. Check out his flickr album page. https://flickr.com/photos/bossmustang/albums/with/72157720040232853      Gary

I'll be there. I have only missed two shows since its first one. I've had 0036 in it twice. I can tell you, Saturday morning till about one o'clock is the busiest time. Beyond that, Saturday after one and Sunday until closing is the lesser attended times.

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.

To say they are stacked to the ceiling is an under statement. 69-70, Boss, Mach 1, GLHS, Series 1, newer SA products dominate upstairs - generally the 1st one of each.

Yes, I saw that! Both white and black tops too.
That must have taken a lot of effort to collect all of those.

MCACN should be another great event for the Shelby crowd (the other muscle/pony cars are nice too).
Please take (and share) lots of photos for those of us who can't make it out there.

Probably the rarest Hertz of all isn't there yet but hopefully soon. 68 500KR. Only convertible, only big block Known to exist. There was a 500 convertible but was stolen off streets of NYC in 68. Likely parted out

Wasn't able get all the cars I wanted but what we gave seems to be very well received
Seeing the different cars we have on display has been eye opening many who there were all black and gold and all Shelby
The Red 1968 XR7G Cougar, the Calypso Coral 1969, the white and Gold that does have the top stripes and the Red and Gold car have all drawn a crowd the display of the MICO master cylinder, and the speedometer locks have drawn a lot of attention plus the display of the scale models and Shelby Memorabilia
