    Convair B-36s over Fort Sheridan, Illinois north of Chicago near Lake Forest during the Chicago Air Fair Jul 4th 1949. Chicago North Western tracks on the bottom?

    Thanks!

    Yes, Burdi announces their events every year on their insta page. They have 2 every year (father's day and Toys for Trots) and then one offs.

    Not sure about the history as I did not talk to the owner. I think it will be at the Alfa Nationals in September in Crystal Lake.

    Amazing, thank you
    Are the classics local owner cars, Ziegler personal collection or eye candy Ferrari sent to spiff up the newly traded hands dealership?

    LFSC open house? What was the occasion? They haven't been fan friendly for years.

    Great pictures. Thanks for sharing. That F40, with the original window sticker still attached? Wow!

    It's been a few years, but I remember seeing the 275 GTB/4 in for service at LFSC's, and the 575 Zagato at Continental.

    Was that a 500 Superfast on the show room floor?
    The gold 275 was stunning
    Not a fan of the F80 design but interesting spec with the gray and white bi-colour plus white lines and blue accent (maybe to coordinate with the interior)
    Points to the 12C customer skipping the poseur shields

    It's a 400 Superamerica. Amazing.

    The 2 supercars arent F80s - they are Pininfarina Battista. Electric hypercars.

    Thanks for that clarification
    Rimac with another skin
    I knew LFSC has stealth AD status for Koenigsegg and Pininfarina

    Ooh, thank you, I hadn't realized they have Pagani as well.
    I doubt that Pininfarina will add much biz but Koenigsegg and Pagani have solid followings.
    Now let's get Gordon Murray in there.

    From what I understand they dont sell Ksegg anymore. Maybe service but aren't selling them anymore?

    Last I spoke with them about it, years ago, the consensus was that it was a pain to deal with and a lot of warranty issues.
