Participants will depart from – and return to – the Pottawatomie Community Center, 8 North Ave., St. Charles (IL) ] There is, perhaps, a certain irony in not driving oneself to the Chicago Auto Show, but thanks to the St. Charles Park District, car nuts and gearheads of all types can enjoy this popular annual event without having to gas up the car and fight traffic to get there. Whether you’re window shopping for a new family van, indulging fantasies of a midlife-crisis sports car or checking out the latest in transportation technology, the Chicago Auto Show is the place to be for all things automotive. “It’s a fun family outing,” said Josh Williams, recreation supervisor for the St. Charles Park District. “The registration fee is very reasonable and covers everything from tickets to the show, round-trip transportation and parking.” The park district will host its trip to the auto show Feb. 14, departing at 9 a.m. Residents ages 5 to 12 and 60-plus get in for $25, while those ages 13 to 59 pay $29. The trip departs from – and returns to – the Pottawatomie Community Center in St. Charles, making for a stress-free day of browsing the newest and most impressive cars the industry has to offer. Produced by the Chicago Automobile Trade Association, the Chicago Auto Show is the nation’s largest and longest running auto show. First held at the Chicago Coliseum back in 1901, its current home at McCormick Place devotes more than 1 million square feet of state-of-the-art convention space to a complete range of domestic and imported passenger cars and trucks, sport utility vehicles, and experimental and concept cars. More than 14 million cars will be sold in America this year, and for the serious buyer comparison shopping for a new car or for the dedicated fan who wants to know what’s hip and cool, a trip to the Chicago Auto Show is an essential part of the educational process. “For a true car buff, going to the Chicago Auto Show is something they look forward to year after year,” Williams said. Nearly 1,000 different vehicles will be on display, from exotic $100,000-plus, ultra-high-performance, limited-production cars from automakers such as Ferrari and Lamborghini, to basic family sedans from Chevrolet and Toyota. One can dream about luxury cars outfitted in exotic wood trim that amaze with amenities, such as temperature-controlled cup holders; or fantasize about daring off-road adventures in sports utility vehicles that combine off-road capability with on-road comfort. Fuel-efficient hybrid cars, such as the Ford Fusion and Honda CR-Z, will appeal to the environmentally concerned driver, and electric cars that run on battery power may capture the attention of the techno-geek driver. In addition to the cars on displays, auto show attendees can learn about the latest in car accessories and enjoy auto-related exhibits on everything from competition vehicles to antique and collector cars.
