I was privileged to attend a private event at the Klairmont Car Kollection. A fantastic private collection of over 300 unique and collectible cars from around the world. The Klairmont Kollection is a Hidden Gem in Chicago. You can get up close with over 300 one-of-a-kind and unique collectible cars. This is truly a car lovers heaven. Some of the unique cars include a 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 with an all stainless steel body and unique gull-wing doors and a 1983 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur covered in nearly 1 million Swarovski crystals. This collection includes One of a Kind cars like Dwight D Eisenhowers 1952 Cadillac limo. A 1935 Studebaker model 2-a dictator Phaeton, believed to be one of the only examples of this car that exist in the United States. Cars formerly owned by celebrities such as Shaquille ONeal, Jackie Gleason, Mae West. As well as cars that were made specifically for movies such as; a 1935 Lincoln Model K used in the movie The Rat Race and was supposed to be Hitlers staff car, a 1935 Hudson Terraplane that was used in the movie Public Enemies and driven by Johnny Depp, Theres also a huge watch, clock, and train collection. There different display areas, some with really campy mannequins and other landmarks from the Chicago area are also represented I can understand why Larry Klairmont, the owner of this fantastic collection, says that all of his cars are his favorite. I would have a really hard time picking one out of all the others. The Collection is generally not open to the General Public, but they are just starting to have guided tours on Saturdays for $35 per person. If you are a car lover, a history buff, or just interested in seeing something unique and totally different, I would highly recommend a visit to the Klairmont collection.

Some good cars but also a lot of junk cars. The cars are way too close together. Moreover, the museum is in a bad over crowded town. The place is closed except for special occasions. Not worth the trip. Two thumbs down :-(
