The Maiden Voyage

Greaser Alley

Well, the Maiden Voyage came a few weeks back when we took the car to the final Hunnert car pile in 2011! I busted ass on the car the nights leading up to the day before and even a few hours before we left to get travel and show ready! Remember that this car was inspected and licensed the day before we went. The vehicle was driven about twenty miles and parked the night before the 300-mile ride to Decatur, Ill. The car made it up without a hitch! Ran like a top all the way there! I had the … Continue reading The Maiden Voyage

The Hunnert Car Pileup 2011

Greaser Alley

Saturday, October 8th, 2011 The Hunnert Car Pileup is a car show for hot rodders who build their cars, and drive them. The Pileup is about hanging out, meeting new friends, and seeing old ones. It is about checking out the craftsmanship in others’ cars, and showing off your own. It is about great music, art, and finding that rare part. It is a nod to a bygone era that lives in each of us. It is about the drive there, the drive home, and the story that goes in between. 2011 will mark our 10th Pileup, and the 11th Anniversary … Continue reading The Hunnert Car Pileup 2011

Hunnert Care Pile Up 2010 DVD

Greaser Alley

The worlds greasiest car show gets a new location in 2010. Decatur, Illinois will never be the same. See the history making first year at the new location as well as the Friday night pre party. Typically when a show outgrows locations, there is a bit of drama with the new venue. Not this year! The Chrome Czars, the host car club based in Chicago, did an amazing job of making the transition to Decatur. Cars that had never been seen at the Pile Up were out in force to embrace the new site. About 1,000 cars made the trek … Continue reading Hunnert Care Pile Up 2010 DVD
