Press Release for the event just went out today:

Chicago, IL - January 5, 2011. Tuner Galleria is coming back to the Chicago World of Wheels car show bigger than ever before. Tuner Galleria collaborates once again with Championship Auto Shows Inc. (CASI) for the upcoming 49th Anniversary of the Chicago World of Wheels event. On March 5, 2011, Tuner Galleria returns to Chicago in impressive form occupying Hall G of the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center - Rosemont, with over 120,000 square feet of INDOOR space. During that Saturday in March, automotive enthusiasts and spectators will be able to enjoy the traditional hot rods of World of Wheels, combined with Tuner Galleria vehicles that showcase modern American muscle, sport compact/stance movement, and European luxury and exotics, all with the same daily entry ticket!

Individual car competitors and car crews from around the country and Canada will finally have a proper INDOOR venue to prove who truly represents the best in the tuner scene today. Major car builders and strong car crews from the United States and Canada have embraced Tuner Galleria's goal of bringing authenticity, trust, and respect back into the fragmented tuner car scene. The Tuner Galleria movement understands that a car show is about the cars and about impartial judging by qualified industry experts. Leave the smack talk aside and prove you truly are the best at Tuner Galleria Chicago, the only INDOOR CAR SHOW for the tuner scene!

The new and upcoming generation of car builders and enthusiasts are also encouraged to participate in the Tuner Galleria Chicago car show event. Special awards will be given out to highlight the efforts of these up and comers of the tuner scene.

More cars, more features such as a lingerie fashion show, live dance competition, video gaming area, sneakerhead swap meet section, guest DJ Miki Taka spinning her beats, import supermodel Melyssa Grace autograph signing session, Prestigious Models' Model Search, and perhaps even an indoor full radio control car track setup right on the show floor!
