A Celebration of Legacy, Family, and the Road Ahead
VOLO, IL —The Volo Museum, one of the nation’s most celebrated destinations for collectors, movie buffs, and car lovers, is commemorating its 65th anniversary with an unforgettable gift: a 1960 Buick 2-door hardtop driven by Jimmy Stewart and Bette Davis, which will be awarded to one lucky winner in a public giveaway.
This milestone event is more than a celebration; it’s a heartfelt thank you to the generations of visitors and supporters who’ve helped transform a small family resale shop that started in 1960 into both a world-renowned museum that sits on 75 acres and the oldest classic collector car dealership in the United States.
Today, the museum is a five-generation family endeavor and remains entirely self-funded, built without grants, sponsors, or government assistance. Every restoration, new exhibit, expansion, and preserved piece of history has been made possible by community support. The museum just finished a five-year, multi-million-dollar, full museum makeover.
The sleek 1960 Buick LeSabre giveaway vehicle is not only a beautiful classic car, it represents the very year the Grams family began their journey. Initially acquired by the family in 1999 for their expanding movie car collection, the car also boasts star power, having appeared in the 1983 film, Right of Way, driven by screen legends Bette Davis and Jimmy Stewart.
“The 1960 Buick symbolizes both sides of Volo — the classic car dealership and the museum,” says Brian Grams, co-owner and museum director. “It’s not just a collector’s item; it’s a piece of our story and a piece of history.”
