World of Wheels has a rich tradition in the Chicagoland area. This event is considered by many as Nirvana for custom, radical and restored cars of all makes, models and years. To this day it is considered one of the premier car shows in the world.
The 2020 rendition of Chicago World of Wheels certainly lived up to its reputation and once again was a big success. One of the most popular exhibits this year were two of the actual cars used in the blockbuster movie Ford vr Ferrari complete with a realistic race track setting. Another new feature was dubbed the most significant hot rods of the 20th century. It included several iconic custom cars that graced the car shows and magazines of the fifties, sixties and seventies. The Chicago World of Wheels has something for anyone who has a passion for cars. We invite you to check out the following pictorial, hope you enjoy. NDW
