Car shows aren`t all grease and engines; there`s also plenty of romance. The 29th annual Miller Genuine Draft World of Wheels Motorsports Expo rolls into Chicago this weekend with soap-opera heartthrobs and Breathless Mahoney`s pink speedster (pictured here). Trent Busher of ”All My Children” and Nicholas Walker of ”One Life to Live” will be among daytime stars who will sign autographs. Movie and Madonna buffs can check out the 1937 Auburn Roadster she drove in ”Dick Tracy.” The kids have the chance to meet Captain Lou Albano and Danny Wells, the stars of ”The Super Mario Brothers Super Show,” and sports nuts can take a ride in an Indy Car Simulator.
”There`s something there to attract all family members,” a spokesperson said. In the center of all these activities are some big bucks. The World of Wheels is just one stop on the $100,000 Magna Auto Show, the richest custom car competition in the world. More than 500 vehicles take part in the beauty contest.
