Template:Infobox museum Founded in 1960 by the Grams family, the Volo Auto Museum, now known simply as the Volo Museum, operates as both a collector car dealership and an automobile museum situated in the Chicago suburb of Volo, Illinois, USA.[1] Its collection spans from vintage to contemporary classic vehicles, with a primary emphasis on American automobiles produced between 1950 and 1980. The museum also boasts over fifty iconic cars featured in television and films, vehicles once owned by celebrities, animatronic figures originating from ShowBiz Pizza Place and Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza Time Theatre, alongside extensive displays related to The Walt Disney Company and Looney Tunes. A distinctive aspect of this institution is that many of the cars displayed across its five expansive buildings are available for purchase. Among the 50 exhibits dispersed over the 75-acre property is a military-themed "Armed Forces Exhibit," introduced in the late 2000s.[1] Additionally, one of the four antique malls on site is reputedly haunted, attracting paranormal enthusiasts and featuring in an episode of the television series Ghost Lab.Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name Since 2017, the museum has been showcased through its own television program on the History channel titled Volo, House of Cars.Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name
