CAMM March Gathering- Volo Auto Museum

This will be the last cold weather CAMM gathering (hopefully) so I wanted to make it about cars since the show and racing season starts back up in April.

http://volocars.com/index.htm

I have been wanting to go to this place since the first time I saw some of the cars at the Chicago Auto Show. For those that don't know what it is: The Volo Auto Museum has over 300 classic cars on display all for sale! The Volo Auto Museum is home to the world's largest muscle car collection and the George Barris TV & Movie Car Collection.


Admission is:
$9 for adults
$7 for seniors, veterans with Veterans Universal Access ID and active personnel with military ID
$5 for children 5-12
free for kids under 5 and military personnel in uniform.

Special group rates are available. (I am checking into this for CAMM).


The Museum is located 50 miles Northwest of Chicago near the intersection of Routes 12 and 120 in western Lake County.
It almost to McHenry for those that have been over to AlterEgo and Headtripps house.



Meet at noon Saturday, March 20th

ABSOLUTELY!!! Depending on the day...what day are you thinking of?

If you like classic muscle cars, this place is awesome. They also have show cars (the original TV Batmobile, the Ghostbusters ambulance, the Miami Vice Ferrari Daytona/Corvette, Knight Rider, Dukes of Hazzard) and most of the cars are either 60's and 70's muscle cars or classic 50's cars.

Of course, they don't have the Mad Max Interceptor, but no place is perfect, I guess.

And March is my birthday.

Its way to far for me hahahah

Really if this happens I will cook everyone dinner at my house how's that sound?
at least you will have somewhere to relax after all that walking. It really is not that big and you can make it through in about an hour and a half or so

id be up for this depending on the day

Sunday March 21st is what I am thinking but the date is open to change.

Fuck, then im not too sure. I got another hockey league starting up sometime in January and not sure when it ends. Ill let you know for sure. I got 3 months to figure it out, lol.

Joey you said you weren't doing hockey next year because you missed so many car shows.


I can change the date I just need to know what day works for you guys.

And Vic that is awesome you will be willing to cook for everyone. I can help out if you like.

I'd be out if it's March 13...that's my actual birthday.

Im not playing in the spring or summer sessions. This session starts in a few weeks and should go to the beginning of spring so I will be free when Car Show season starts. And I need the exercise so I want to play, lol.

I looked at the calendar before picking the date. I know when your birthday is mang don't sweat it.

I can pick a Sat I will have to take off work or just come up later. Let me look at the schedule and I will let you guys know.

i love this place i have been there prob 15 times... went to a couple shows there also... pretty cool to see movie cars... and also to know there for sale...

I'm TOTALLY down!!!


Funny, it's where the pic in my avatar was taken, feeling up the Marilyn Monroe car LOL

I would do this. Been there once before and had a great day. In addition to the cars, there are also a bunch of antique shops (if you are into that sort of thing). Any Sunday or Saturday in March works for me.

I might b able to make it i it's on a Sunday.

I'm in. I'd like to see their version of Kit and the Batmobile. Years ago when we were out on strike, I was working at a factory remodeling job in by the Naval base. The owner had a bunch of cars and Kit and the b-mobile were a couple that I drove out to clear out the area for prepping to remodel and paint. They looked really bad up close.

I'm definitely wanting to go to this one.. Sounds awesome.. Once we nail down a date and it gets a bit closer, I'll put if I can make it or not..
