The Chicago Auto Show Selects Volo Auto Museum to Present the 100th Anniversary Antique Car Exhibit

    VOLO, Ill. - Professionals from the Volo Auto Museum will be managing this 
stunning exhibit of 16 milestone automobiles that reflect the development of 
the automobile.  They will be on hand to answer questions, discuss details, give 
a brief history of each car, and keep these awesome cars sparkling.

    Greg Grams: "We have had a long and warm relationship with the Chicago
Auto Show, and the remarkable people who put it all together.  We are pleased
beyond words that CATA has given us the responsibility of supervising this
prestigious display of sixteen fine antique and collectible automobiles.  And
we're pleased that in presenting the state-of-the-art automobiles of 2001, the
Chicago Auto Show is also exhibiting the automotive works of art that paved
the way.  Come and see us -- February 9th thru 18th."

    Greg's brother Bill, co-owner, added: "The Cord L29 to be exhibited was
the first front-wheel drive car made in America.  It wasn't perfect -- just
perfectly beautiful.  Today front-wheel drive cars are all around us -- it all
began with the Cord.  It's in looking back that we can truly appreciate the
technical elegance of the cars of 2001.  In retrospect, it's been an
astonishing 100 years since that first Chicago Auto Show in 1901.  And we're
proud to be able to contribute to this 100th Anniversary, and we're honored to
have been chosen."

    The Volo Auto Museum is one of the most visited automobile museums in the
United States.  And it's unique in that nearly all the 250 collectible cars on
display are for sale.  The Museum -- along with a 300 dealer antique
mall -- is located some 50 miles northwest of Chicago on Route 12 near the
intersection with 120.  Hours are 10 to 5 every day except Thanksgiving,
Christmas and Easter.  The museum may be visited on-line at volocars.com .
Because Volo Auto Museum sells so many cars, the exhibits are constantly
changing, so there's always something new -- well, old -- to see.
