DETROIT, MI--(Marketwire - March 26, 2008) - A bit of Detroit is coming to Chicago on April
5 and 6 as Detroit-based Championship Auto Shows holds its 27th annual
Chicago Chevy Vettefest at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in
Rosemont. This annual car enthusiast exhibit brings some of the nation's
rarest, fastest, wildest and oldest Corvettes and Chevrolets to one
location.
This year's event has a worthy cause in mind, as the event will host the
2nd Annual Charity Auction to benefit the Inflammatory Breast Cancer
Research and Awareness Foundation. This year's auction will feature a live
auction of Chevy & Corvette memorabilia and parts hosted by Ride Again
Auctions.
Also this year, Vettefest welcomes fire prevention program Rescue 1 Fire
Safety for Kids, who will debut a 1948 Chevy Fleetline Aerocoupe called
"Dragon Slayer" that will make the rounds at other Championship Auto Shows
showcases and then eventually be auctioned off to benefit the fire
prevention and fire safety education program.
