Established in 1960, the Volo Auto Museum is an automobile museum and collector car dealer in the Chicago suburb of Volo, Illinois, USA. The museum contains an exhibit of collectors' autos from vintage to modern classics, with the main focus being American cars of the 1950-1980 period, TV and movie cars, bizarre cars, cars previously owned by the rich and famous, and a large one-of-a-kind Disney and Looney Tunes characters display. Unique to this museum is that many of the vehicles on display (in five large buildings) are for sale. A military-oriented "Armed Forces Exhibit" was added in the late 2000s.
