Inline Tube - At the Chicago - Muscle Car Nationals

Inline Tube 2009 Muscle Car & Corvette Nationals - Customer cars

For years we have been saying if someone created a show for all national winning muscle cars it would be off the hook. It has now happened. In 2008 Bob Ashton has took over and reorganized the Chicago Chevy Vette Show to include all muscle cars and re-named the show "Muscle Car & Corvette Nationals". The show is now open to all makes and models of muscle cars. What makes this show truly unique is that it is an autorama style show that is all indoor and under one roof. The cars are displayed with information telling about the particular cars and the hoods, trunks and doors are open and many with the wheels off to show every detail of the restoration. This is a application entry show so you must send in photos of your car for consideration to be accepted into the show field. This year there were over 500 cars on the show floor and the competition was stiff. This show will certainly turn into one of the premier events for muscle car showings in the country.

Inline tube was proud to display our 1972 442 W-30 with the many customer cars on the show floor. Inline tube is a company that manufactures high quality concourse level restoration parts for classic cars and trucks. We attend events to show car guys that; with some hard work and the right parts your project could turn out like ours. At this event there was no shortage of high end cars displaying Inline Tube products. So we would like to thank all our current customers and encourage the rest that you too can build your dream and we are here to help provide the highest quality parts on the market.

This is just a fraction of the cars in the show that feature Inline Tube products and below are the pictures and contact information for some of the best restoration shops in the country.

Inline tube display at the Muscle Car Nationals

Inline tube has traveled to many events setting up cars on display and bringing product for our customers to see there is a difference in reproduction parts. We do not sell function only part or close to factory parts. We only sell the best in house made reproductions on the market. We may have started with a couple of tubes and grown to be the largest tube manufacture in the country but tubes are old news compared to all our new products. Today we manufacture Cables, Valves, Clips, Hoses, Exhaust and many other under chassis detail parts to make your restoration the best it can be.
