Last month I had the pleasure of going to the Volo, Ill Car Museum. Here you will find cars from the 50's, 60's, and 70's. What was your "dream car" when you were a kid? Will it is probably here or they can get you one. Yes that's right because even though they call this place a "museum" almost every car here is for sale. Was your dream a '57 Chevy convertable? They had one. Of coarse nobody could afford it, but it was here none the less. How ever they also had lots of old muscle cars that were very much affordable. Most were in the $20,000 to $35,000 range. And when you concider what you would pay for a band new car, these prices didn't seem that bad.

These cars have been gone over completely and fixed up to like new condition. They had hundreds of cars to chose from. One time when I went they had a '55 Oldsmobile just like my first car that I think I must have owned back in 1962 or '63. My best friend Fred, had a Pontiac Grand Prix in I think 1963 and they had one just a year newer then what He had had. It did have the same 421 cubic inch motor and 4 speed that his had though, and I remember all the trouble He had getting this big engine in the car. Seems like at the time Pontiac didn't think you needed this big of a engine to go to the drive in movie. He also got 3.90 or 4.10 rear end gears in it and could this baby ever move. I think it got 10 mile to the gallon but back then you could get gas easy for $0.25 or $0.30 per gal. Will then you know the next thing He did was fall in love and sold the Pontiac for a Ford Convertable. What us guy's will do for love!

They also had some very nice street rods. Read that as small cars with big engines. Now how ever when you get a car that only get's 10 MPG. you no longer have the cheap gas to put in it. My how the times have changed.

So guy's and maybe a few gal's, if you are looking for that dream car of your youth, Volo, Ill. is the place to go. Can't miss the place either because it's almost on the corner of Highway's 12 and 120 in Volo,Illinois. Then when you get your beautiful "new" car, drive a little bit North to Wisconsin and enjoy the beautiful places we have to see here in Wis.
