2009 Downtown West Allis Classic Car Show

Sunday, October 4th, 2009

The first rumble of headers could be heard entering the registration area at 5:42 AM and there was a steady growl of glass packs and dual exhausts from that point until well after the registration cut-off deadline.  In the end, the 19^th Annual West Allis Classic Car Show set a new record as 412 muscle cars, street rods, vintage roadsters and all other classics of yesterday streamed onto Greenfield Avenue to make the show another huge success.  There were plenty of sleek lines and cool chrome as a stroll down Greenfield brought back memories of when these classics ruled the roads.  Accompanied by great food offerings from the variety of vendors, rock and roll music from the DJ and an incredible flow of car enthusiasts, this year’s collection of vehicles showed why once again the West Allis Classic Car Show is one you don’t want to miss.

 This year’s Best Of Show winner was Bill Wamboldt from Genoa City with his mint 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air.  A complete list of Best Of Class winners can be found by clicking here.

 Huge “Thank You’s” are needed.  The show could not be such a success without the help of our generous sponsors, the hard working volunteers and organizers, the many vendors, and the City of West Allis who provides a great venue for the event.  But most of all we would like to thank everyone that participated – the individual car owners, the car clubs, and all of the visitors that took time out of their Sunday afternoon to take a step back in time and really appreciate the pride and hard work that each car owner displays.  Also special thanks to the NFL for once again working with us to make sure there wasn’t a Packer game to compete against.  And this year’s cooperation from the local weatherpersons didn’t hurt either!

 Thanks again, and make sure you make it back next year for number20! It should be another one for the record books, and planning started right after this one was complete.  If you have any suggestions for making the event even better, just let us know by forwarding your thoughts to the Downtown West Allis Business Improvement District.
