I Moved up here (North side of Milwaukee) about a year ago for work. I am moving to the Mequon area at the end of the month. My car ('53 Buick Special) will be out of storage around that time. I have not met any one or any clubs that are into the traditional seen. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I am looking to get out more this season. Looking for people, clubs and shows that are in to the traditional seen. Thanks Joe
The Cheaters Car Club in Milwaukee has a great show near the Milwaukee airport during the summer. There is also Symco and another that escapes me at the moment. Welcome to the area. I'm sure many others will chime in with other shows.

Sweet, thanks guys. I'm looking forward to the car season. PBRmeASAP I will PM you around the end of the month, once I get moved and my car out.

Hello BenzDoctor, Welcome to the area. As stated, dont miss the Cheaters CC show at the Nite Owl. It rocks! This year it will be held on Aug. 25, just across the street from the airport in Milwaukee. I am sure there are numerous cruise -ins around Milwaukee and the surrounding communities. There are a lot of Cheaters CC members on here and Im sure one of them would let you know the cool spots. You stated that you have only been here around a year. Off the top of my head, here are some good shows this summer in WI. (and some just outside of ol Wisconie) just in case youre not in the loop. Spring Jefferson Swap Meet, Jefferson, WI April 27, 28, 29 <O</O Hunnert Heads Up Vintage Drag Racing, Great Lakes Dragway, Union Grove, WI June 16 <O></O> Now this one is a little drive for you, but is very well worth the drive! Almost 12,000 cars last year. (yes 12,000 pre-1964) Its crazy and you will have a blast! MSRA Back To The 50s Weekend St. Paul, MN June 22,23,24 <O></O> Summer Elkhorn Car Show and Swap Meet Elkhorn, WI Aug 4-5 <O></O> Symco Shakedown, Symco, WI Aug 10-11 <O></O> Cheaterama, Milwaukee, WI Aug. 25 <O></O> Rumble Fest, Amherst, WI Aug 31 Sept. 2 <O></O> Beloit Autorama, Beloit, WI Sept. 16 <O></O> The Iron Invasion, Woodstock, IL Oct. 6 <O></O> These are just the larger events. I am sure when the weather gets nice; you could be busy every Sat and Sun this summer.
A good place in your neighborhood is Wayne's Drive In in Cedarburg. Go straight up Wauwatosa Rd to Hwy 60. They have a cruise in every Thursday night during the summer. I think it's starting in a few weeks. They've been advertising their seasonal opening all last week. BTW, I'm just west of you in Germantown.
Thanks guys! I knew there were folks out there! I will definitely be checking as many of these out as I can! If anyone sees the 'ol INLINE 8 out and about give me a hollar! I do get her out often, and not just for shows, she's a driver!

Welcome to Ozaukee county...I am just north of you. I am hoping to have the new plymouth rolling in a couple of weeks to make it over to Waynes. Cheaterama is a can't miss like the other said.
August 17, 18, 19, the Kustom Kemps of America (KKOA) event in Stevens Point. Check it out at www.kkoanorthevent.yolasite.com
Welcome to the north shore. Don't forget your front plate. There is lots of shows & cruise nights in the area you will be welcomed at. Wayes in Cedarburg, Grafton rod-n-relics show with live blues, Port fish days show, Saukville live music nights. Dont forget those wacky Symco and Cheaterama shows.. Hot Rod Radio has a calendar as well as the Independent Syndicate which covers the midwest traditional shows. http://p4.hostingprod.com/@vintagetorque.com/independentsyndicate
You must have been hiding under your car. In the Milwaukee area you can go to a shine and show almost every day of the week. I have done 3 in one day. http://www.wiscollectorcar.com/car-shows/car-show-calendar.html http://www.oldride.com/events/wisconsin_carshow.html
Yep.... I'm right down the road in Mequon. Wayne's Drive-in in Cedarburg has an awesome cruise every Thursday... Wednesday night Classics at the Gasthaus in Waukesha every Wednesday... Schlotskies in Menomonee Falls every Tuesday... cripes there are so many things happening each week you could blow the gas budget on! P.M. me for contacts and details. Cheers Mark
Check out the car show at the gasthaus every wednesday night in Waukesha right off 94. Cheap beer n live band, starts in the end of may
anything interesting to look at there? never made it last year, but the few times i drove past after work it seemed very muscle car/late model vette.
Everything is there... from vintage Duesenburg's, rat rods to late model stuff... should stop by next time you're around I'll buy you a beer.
You can go on www.wirod.com which is Wisconsin streetrod assn and there are a bunch of clubs listed on there. Schlotzky's (in the Falls) has the parking lot all torn up for the mini-mall rebuild so I'm not sure how this summer will be. Wayne's is definately good. Jefferson is a can't miss swap. There were weekly carshows in Sussex and Richfield last year but not sure of the status-Sussex bar changed owners. I'm just west of you in Germantown/Colgate and work in Mequon. On website-click on "Links"
Jeff will take care of you...hell, he had me over pounding PBRs two hours after I arrived in Wisconsin
Sweet! Thanks all! I did make it to Port Fish Days last year, and Brew City Grill a couple times. My biggest problem is I'm still learning the area. I can mapquest and get anywhere, but it was not knowing where to go, no one I work with is in to it. I close on the house at the end of the week, and hope to get the Buick out the following week. Looking forward to getting out and driving it, and shootin the breeze with car guys and gals
hehehe...i'm a ass! Mark ya now owe me a beer...that's when i get the car done as i'm hot rodless. That sussex one is supposed to be kinda cool as there's a actual car cruise to the show, then park and bs. Got a bunch of muscle car buddies that i gotta show up...let them know how to make real power...
Wayne's in Cedarburg can be good on Thursday nights. I live about 5 minutes from there. I used to live in Bay View and they are not kidding about the Cheaters show at the Nite Owl. That show kicks ass. Probably the single best event of the year.
As stated before, Don't miss the 13th. Cheaterama or the Symco Shakedown. Hunnert Drags at Da Grove is on the list too.
