Count Gregula, being a big fan of classic cars and hot rods, had the extreme pleasure of attending The Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals<\/a> (aka MCACN) at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center<\/a>\u00a0in Rosemont, Illinois. This fang-tastic event took place the weekend of November 22\u201323, 2025.<\/p>\n

This car show specialized in high-profile displays and world-class restorations. The highlight and a fan favorite was the “barn finds”, which are rare high-value vehicles displayed in their as-found condition. Instead of shiny restorations, these cars are covered in decades of dust, grime, and even rodent nests to preserve their historical “time capsule” state.<\/p>\n

Below is a gallery showing the
rare and unique cars displayed at MCACN, along with some Gregula adventures – shown through the talented lens of photographer Robert Dicke.<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n
