What do you expect to see when you visit a farm? Pumpkin patches? Pigs? How about pristine vintage cars?
They might not be organic, but vintage and new cars of all makes and models have been driving visitors to a West Chicago farm all summer long. Tuesday nights this summer, Sonny Acres Farm has been packed with hundreds of people for Cruise Nights. "People see these beautiful cars from the road on North Avenue, and they pull in. They're like, 'Oh, my God, we want to go see what's going on,'" owner Jeannie Fontana said.
Fontana said Cruise Nights, a first for the farm this year, is all because of one classic car enthusiast, Ed Partyka.Partyka was looking for a new place to host their summer show."Let's just try it. I mean, they're really popular, and people do love to go and see all these older cars, and the newer cars," she said.Partyka brought his 1964 Oldsmobile 98 convertible, Nicki Lozado brought her heavily modified 2019 Corvette Grand Sport, and Gina Love brought her 2004 Corvette C5.
