Thousands of hot rodders, car builders, and auto enthusiasts descended on the Windy City for the annual Chicago World of Wheels, which is the largest show of its kind this side of the Detroit Autorama.

Much like the automotive eye candy on display in Detroit, Chicago too brings together one of the finest annual collections of head-turning customs, antiques, trucks and much more to capture the awe and imagination of anyone with a little 110 octane pumping in their veins.

From the gorgeous 1936 Packard Roadster (shown above), which took home the Legend Cup hardware, to a whole slew of incredible customs and creative builds, there was much to see.
