Every year, in early September, the Berwyn Preservation of Historic Route 66 Committee of the BDC hosts the Historic Route 66 Car Show, which is held on Ogden Avenue in Berwyn. Berwyn has always been a great Route 66 town with a thriving, dynamic and fast-growing community at its heart. The Route 66 Car Show proves very successful with an estimated crowd of approximately 10,000 residents and visitors each year. All classic car fans are welcome to the show and can rediscover the great automotive heritage of Berwyn’s Historic Route 66.

Chosen as one of Chicago Magazine's 5 Best Things to Do in September 2011!

Something for everyone! Entertainment for the 2013 show is still being coordinated.

For a glimpse of the fun that is typically found at the Car Show, check out last year's line-up. Chicago-bred Drag Racer Dale Creasy, Jr. will be on site with his 8,000+ horsepower nitro fuel funny car.

A demonstration of Automobile Flamethrowing will take place at 11:30 am, 12:30 pm and 1:30 pm! Don't try this at home! And at 10:30 am there will be a color guard procession and flag raising ceremony from East Avenue to the World War I Memorial at 34th Street.

The Crown Vics will play at Ogden Top & Trim from 11:00 am - 1:00 pm.
Since 2003, the Chicago-based Crown Vics have been bringing audiences their intrepid blend of 1950’s birth of Rock ‘n’ Roll and R&B showstoppers. Steeped in the big beat rhythms of Bill Haley & the Comets, the screaming saxes of early honkers like Joe Houston and the frenetic energy of Freddie Bell and Jimmy Cavallo, the six piece Crown Vics recreate the vintage sounds, sights and vibe of an early 50’s Alan Freed stage spectacular—one that has to be seen to be believed.

Legendary WLS DJ & Radio Hall of Famer Dick Biondi will sign autographs and award trophies from Noon - 4:00 pm.
