World of Wheels is one of the best classic car shows in the Chicago area.

You can see all of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.benlevy.com\/auto\/show\/wow08\">Pictures from World of Wheels here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This year the Fords really caught my eye. It&#8217;s kind of funny that Ford&#8217;s retro look has been so inspired by the cars of the &#8217;60s because I think the Ford&#8217;s from the &#8217;30 are the ones that are truly amazing.
