Welcome to the Chicago Chapter 1Q event of 2024!

For our 1Q event we will be visiting the legendary Volo Auto Museum! We will cruise together to the museum and spend some time indoors enjoying the collection of classic vehicles on display.

Let's use this opportunity to discuss potential future events and activities for the Chicago Chapter of the Cadillac V-Club.  Our quarterly events do not necessarily have to include a meal and this event is a example where the V-Club is covering the cost of your tickets to the museum.  

All V-Club members and sponsors are invited to join us for this event compliments of the Cadillac V-Club.  If you plan to bring a guest, your guest fee is due at the time of your RSVP registration.  Prospective members are also welcome to join us at this event at no cost and may bring a guest for a nominal fee.

This is a great opportunity to meet and greet other members of the club. You must RSVP by no later than Thursday, March 28th to attend this event by registering via the CadillacVClub.com website.  If you RSVP and then your plans change, please be sure to cancel your registration.

We will first be meeting at the Bass Pro Shops parking lot in Bolingbrook IL at 8:50 AM

Bass Pro Shops, 709 Janes Ave, Bolingbrook, IL 60440

From there we will cruise up to the Volo Auto Museum

Volo Auto Museum

There is a Starbucks nearby at the intersection of Boughton Road and Janes Ave if anyone wanted to grab a cup of coffee for the cruise.

ABOUT VOLO AUTO MUSEUM

In 1960 the Grams family purchased this property, which at the time was a 110-year-old, non-operating, dairy farm. The vision was to live in the old farmhouse and convert the dilapidated barn into a resale shop. It was the teenage sons Greg and Bill who had an interest in cars. With no money, and for a hobby, the brothers would scour the area looking for old cars the local farmers put out to the pasture. In their free time, after working the family business, the brothers would stay up late wrenching on their latest finds.

Even though their collection was nothing more than a dozen or so unrestored cars, the brothers started attracting attention from people, specifically the attention of their soon to be first customer. Even though none of their cars were for sale, that didn’t stop a man from making an offer on a car he had his eye on, an offer they decided to take. The brothers realized there was money to be made in old cars and it was that event that lead to the brothers starting their business “Volo Auto Museum”.
