A few years back, during one of the great weekends we spend in Chicago, a group of us went to the Klairmont Kollections Museum. I'll post a photo every now and then.

@chav; must be nice to be rich enough to have such a diverse collection, outstanding.

@brush Agree, but you know, I don't envy people like him, I admire him for what he has done and he has done it well making his collection available to the public. He is a genuine cars loving person, who came from a poor family, fought in the WWII, raised 5 kids, build a fortune and put his money to a great cause. I think that is the pinnacle of the American dream. Life well lived!

I first became aware of this amazing museum on Lou Costabile's "My Car Story" YT channel. He's featured a number of their cars in videos.
