Justed looked about booking online at Country Inn and Suites, they quoted $141.38 per night with advance payment.  

When is everyone planning on going in?  I was considering arriving on the 27th departing on the 30th?  Would like to meet many of you and down a few cold ones as well !

For those that booked at the Best Western Executive Inn Harborside.

Yes it is no longer a Best Western it is now a Wyndham Hotel and I called today and all reservations made with Best Western were moved over to their system and you should be all set.

Phone number in case anyone needs to contact directly 262-658-3281

Room Rate is 89.99 per night

This is the mega show for all things Nash, Rambler AMC, Jeep and Metropolitans. I believe I have only seen 4 or 5 Hudsons in the past.

Lots of parts at the swap meet.

The best part is no judging or points nonsense, just a great gathering of enthusiasts.

I was talking to an AMC friend last night that is about to start showing his newly restored 70 AMX.  He was asking about the upcoming AMO show in Gettysburg and the show at Kenosha.   During the conversation I suggested to him I thought it was difficult for many AMC hobbyist to attend both shows due to travel and the fact that they are so close together time wise.   That initiated another conversation about possibly having the AMO National show in Kenosha during the Kenosha homecoming when they occur. ( every 3-4 years)    I know the AMO shows were originally held in Kenosha before they  started moving around to make it more convenient for members across the country and in Canada to get  to one of these great shows.  That wouldn't really change .  It would make sense to me to combine the two shows and hopefully draw an even larger contingent back to the homecoming and home of AMC...... Just a thought....

This comes up quite often, and believe me it is something that has been looked at. I'm not saying it won't ever happen, but the logistics of making it happen are very difficult. Add to that fact that the no-judging component of kenosha is a big part of the draw, and I think you are looking at two very different events.

There are issues of holding a judged show within a show that isn't judged, hotel and banquet space, lack of an actual club in Kenosha to run the show, and the fact that the Kenosha show is an event held and run buy the city of Kenosha. These are just some of the issues in combining these. For anyone who has been a judge at an AMO show, have you ever had trouble finding a car? Imagine tracking a 'lost' car down in that snowfield! We (AMO) have looked at this in depth, and unfortunately there just isn't an easy answer to question.

A few years ago I did both back to back when they were one week apart, and it was more than I think I will do again. I know many agreed. This year the shows are a month apart to help spread things out. If you look at other brands of cars there are multiple 'big' shows each year - we only run into this every 3-5 years at this time.
