Around Detroit it is called Autorama, but here it is called the much more awe inspiring O'Reilly Auto Parts "World of Wheels" presented by South Oak Dodge Chrysler Jeep. Same managing company though.

Ah, thought that might be what you were referring to.
Last time I entered World of Wheel's, was back in '79.

Yes, those would be Old Style beer cans I utilized as chain posts.
 
For a number of reasons I never returned as a participant after that. Although it had nothing to with the show back then, the next time I attended the World of Wheels event was back in 2000. The show sucked. I commented to a couple of friends who were with me that the show isn't what it once was.
Since then, I've occasionally run into people commenting the same thoughts since I was last there. So no, I won't be attending.

My last time there I did see a really nice 409 impala SS. But i noticed It had chrome plated brake rotors and a sign on it saying it was driven daily. Yeah…ok. Right next to it was (and I kid you not) a 93 old cutlass supreme. This thing actually had chains around it so you couldn't get too close. Like anyone would want to. I asked the guy why it was there and he said because it only had 20,000 miles on it. I didn't know that qualified it as a show car. Silly me.
There were a few 4x4's there but they mostly show type full size trucks. 12" of lift, 44's, and 16 shocks.
I probably won't go this year, but you can still have fun if you go with the right group of guys.

Is that the car show that happens at McCormick Place, they usually have it after the Auto Show, am I thinking of the right one guys. I know I have been to it before, had a ton of imports there, not a lot of 4wheel drive vehicles. Maybe we should all go to it and have our vehicles in it, I think that would be sweet, someone would have to drive my other Jeep for me though seeing how I cant drive 2 vehicles at once, lol.

I had planned on going, but my dad is coming this way to help me with a new 220v panel for my garage. Now I can start using my compressor and good welder again.

On a side note, if you guys and girls would like to attend a great car show (approx 1000 vehicles every year) the show in Sycamore could be a great time for us to show & shine our 4x4's. I have a '69 SS Camaro I've entered in the show on & off the past several years. Personally, I garage the camaro out in the sycamore area and could have a local friend bring it to the show while I bring my Rubi. The show is held the end of July / early Aug. Just a thought.
For those interested, my other "baby" is a original 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Super Sport – L89 car. 396 cubic inch 375 horsepower. M-22 Rockcrusher 4-speed. GM 12 bolt w/ 4.10 gears. I possess full documentation the car is a original Nickey Chevrolet muscle car. For those who don't know what means, Nickey was a Chevy dealer who built "Super Cars" in the mid 60's to early 70's in Chicago. Much like Baldwin Chevy in NY and Yenko Chevy in Pennsylvania. I am the second owner, the original owner was a mechanic at the dealership for something like 25 years. He was terminally ill and decided to sell this numbers matching SS Camaro to me. Today I drive it maybe 2 or 3 times during the summer and people bug me all the time to sell it. I can't bring myself to do it even though I've been offered insane money.
