Hi guys. I was just wondering about something. Earlier in the summer I was driving through southern Illinois from St. Louis to Chicago using I-55. Along the way I noticed a BUNCH of classic car dealers (mostly it looked like project classics....exactly what I want to look for in the next coupla months. :D ). I wrote their names and phone numbers down, but I dont remember what I did with the list. :mad:

Do any of you live in the area or do any of you know of those dealers?

Thanks in advance.

One of them is probably Country Classic Cars in Staunton:

Sorry to hijack this thread, but I need to clarify some terminology.I55 from St. Louis to Chicago doesn't run through southern Illinois. It runs through Western, Central and Northern Illinois ;) ;)

Sorry my bad.....I grew up in Chicago so anything south of there gets classified as Southern. smile.gif

You are correct 1968, I-55 does indeed run through south westen Illinois. Sorry bout the mixup!

rlchv 70 thanks for the link!!! How did you find it? What would be a good search subject for this in Google?

Thanks again

I grew up near Litchfield, and my parents still live there. I knew it was located in Staunton, which is about 15 minutes from Litchfield. So, I just looked up "classic cars in Staunton, IL" on yahoo.com.

There is also a place just south of Springfield. They have maybe a dozen cars. However, every time I stop there the cars that they have shouldn't be considered more than parts cars and are outrageously overpriced.

Rick Good thing you clarified that. I thought any south of Joliet was southern Il. :D

Anyway, I think there is another place north of there too. If I recall it's something like Bob's classics.

You're right, the border is I-80 :D

I thought everything north of Champaign was Chicago. :D
