This is a can't miss show for all you who live in the midwest. It is 350 miles from Mpls., and alot closer for those in Iowa, Wisc., Ill. and Mo. On the map LaHarpe is just across the river from Burlington, Iowa. Mrs. Helen Gibb, her daughters Connie and Nancy, and Herb Fox will be there. There is a Friday night cruise in Monmouth, 30 miles from LaHarpe, with 500+ cars, 1,000's of folks. Last year at LaHarpe, 380 cars were in the show, with more than the population of LaHarpe (pop. 1500) at the show. We expect 3 large tents for the SuperCars that will be attending. Some suprises are expected this year, along with all of Fred Gibb's Camaro racecars, the #1 ZL1, the 70 ZL1 and '67 Z28 "Little Hoss". This will be the first time they have all been together at the same time.

Do you know what it feels like to stand between 3 ZL1's when they are fired up with open headers? All I can say is be there, you will not want to miss it.

Western Illinois University is my alma mater and I would drive through Monmouth on a regular basis going to and from School.
If I recall correctly Monmouth is approx. a three hour drive from the Western Suburbs of Chicago.

That was almost two decades ago, I don't remember and would have to look it up. Is the Chevelle up for a road trip?

We have been to Monmoth the last two years, and it's one of the most enjoyable places we've ever been. People in charge are very friendly, neat old brick buildings, town square, live band, and hundreds of cars. Think this may be the first time out for the Little Rock deuce. Then, weather permiting, on to Laharpe the next day. You get a police escort from Monmoth almost all the way to Laharpe. If you can make it BE THERE.
