14th Annual Chicagoland Emergency Vehicle Show
 

One of the largest emergency vehicle shows worth going to in the Midwestern US put on the weekend of August 5-7th, 2011. See all the details for the show at:

There are usually over 170 emergency vehicles of all types that go here and would be nice to see some SSP guys show up here too!

might be a nice show to attend. I am off that weekend also.... hmmmm.

Just bumping this one up as it's about 60 days away.

thanks for the bump. I have placed it on my calendar...:yes:

I was there last year and met a good friend and his family. I was the only SSP there. I had a great time so it would be nice to see other SSPs there and meet members.

Found this picture on Chic Emeg Veh show photos. The sign indicates SSP parking.

I would like to make this one some time. It get's kind of tough because the local Mustang club I belong has our Mustang Memories show at Ford WHQ that Sunday. Had about 630 Ford vehicles there last year (probably 90% of them Mustangs). The projection is closer to 800 vehicles this year, which should be interesting. Maybe I can get a few days off....catch the Friday and Saturday CEVS happenings and then get back in time for Sunday at Ford WHQ.

my parents are coming into town for this weekend. I will not be attending.

I'm about 90% sure of attending this year...the Friday and Saturday portions but need to get back in time for Sunday event here at Ford WHQ. Anyone else going?

Just dropped my registration in the mail. Will be going in the 1992 Michigan State Police SSP. Anyone else here attending? I'll be there for Friday and Saturday elements of the agenda then heading back to Michigan so I can make my local Mustang Club's big all Ford show on Sunday at Ford WHQ...expecting about 800 cars this year.

Good for you Mike! Please take plenty of pictures.

Mike I had planned on attending but my parents will be here till Sunday morning that weekend. I am going to try to make it next year for sure though. Take some pictures and have a good time.

For reference, many of these events are published at Copcar.com's show area here: http://copcardotcom.fotki.com/miscel...oto/car_shows/

That's anything and everything police and emergency vehicle related show wise is documented there especially CEVS. Look around at CCdC photo archives or at emergencyvehicleshow.com in their photo area of the previous year's event if you are curious as to what you will see and you'll get a pretty good idea.

Mike,
I am planning on going for Saturday only. Will see you there.

I will be there all 3 days with FHP 1154

Sounds good...look forward to seeing those of you in attendance. Will definately take many pics to share.

Just a few days away from CEVS and related events. From what I've noticed so far, seems like at least 4 SSPs attending. Anyone else here going with vehicle or w/out? Really looking forward to it since my first time attending. I've already connected w/some folks w/other vintage police cars to caravan from the west side of MI into the host hotel. Thanks.

CEVS - 92 MI SSP and 93 WI SSP
 

Hello,

I've been going non-stop for the past 3 days (2 days at CEVS and all day today at Mustang Memories show @ Ford WHQ) so I haven't had a chance to post my CEVS photos on my Fotki album yet. That being said, I'll wet your whistle a little with the attached, which pictures my 1992 Michigan State Police SSP and Copper's (George's) 1993 Wisconsin State Patrol SSP. They sure make a nice pair, don't they?

PS: I'll be sure to email you pics George.

New Preserver for the WSP SSP
 

I added George's old 1993 Wisconsin State Patrol SSP to my stable about a year ago, so I now own both of the SSPs picture in the post immediately above. Haven't spent as much time with it as I'd hoped so far, but have intentions for this year. This hobby has afforded me the opportunity to meet and develop friendships with people I likely wouldn't have not have otherwise met. I miss George's camaraderie in the hobby and spending time with him at various car shows.

I've always appreciated the WHP cars. Good looking color/decal combo.

Thank you...yeah that royal blue color with the red/white/blue graphics look nice.
