Please come and join us at Berger Chevrolet in Grand Rapids, where performance is still very much alive! Yes, Yenko, Nicky, Dana, Baldwin-Motion and Fred Gibb Chevrolet are sadly long gone, but Berger Chevrolet is still very much in business. Berger is still owned and operated by the Berger family as it has been since 1925, one of the oldest family owned Chevrolet dealerships in the United States!
To celebrate their performance heritage, Berger is throwing a party in the form of an ALL CHEVY SHOW.
Over the last 11 years, the show has grown into a national caliber event with participants coming from all over the United States and Canada. Hosted by the Western Michigan Camaro Club, the show will be on Saturday, August 28, 2010. All Chevrolets are welcome to attend, and we would especially like to invite any of those "Berger" Chevys from the 60's and 70's to attend. Think of it as a homecoming!
There will be several "Milestone" Berger Chevys on display, as well as the Berger Special Edition Camaro SS's, Hot Rod Magazine Limited Edition Camaros, Berger ZL-1 Camaro Supercars and the Berger Chevrolet - Dick Harrell Camaro Supercars on hand for all to see.
The show will go on Rain or Shine and will be an indoor/outdoor show.
This year we have expanded the activities to include a "Meet & Greet" get together on Friday evening (August 27). This is an informal activity designed to allow us to watch the "cruisers" along 28th Street participating in the "6th Annual 28th Street Metro Cruise". The hours of the Meet & Greet are from 7pm to 10pm. There will also be a food vendor on site for your convenience.
Event Hours
Friday: Meet and Greet - 7pm to 10pm at Berger Chevrolet
Saturday: All Chevy Show - 8am to 2pm at Berger Chevrolet
Entry Fee
$15.00 per car includes one free T-shirt per entry, and a dash plaque to the first 200 entrants.
