    Wendy's and the Kenosha Car Club

    Why, you ask, is a fast food chain listed as something you'd want to see in Kenosha? Kenosha has a phenomenon that has endured for several decades. Every Tuesday, weather permitting, car enthusiasts from the Kenosha Car Club bring their classic cars to Wendy's locations throughout the city. The owners of the cars are incredibly friendly and very, very willing to chat about their car, show you under the hood, and give a (sometimes not so) brief history lesson. Also Wednesdays at Culver's (8124 Sheridan Rd) starting at 4PM.

    Tuesdays during nice weather from June until September
