Amazing collection! If you even remotely like cars or car history you have to see this place. They have a very diverse collection in years and types. The history to go with these cars is equally impressive.

Hidden gem in Chicago. Ive lived here for 7 years and only now got to see it. Extensive collection of retro cars. We went on Saturday and were the only ones there. We liked the old watches collection as well. Plan to stay for an hour to 90 min

Great to see another car museum pop up lots of different unique cars compared to the other museums in the region, atmosphere is awesome and sounds like there expanding even more totally worth checking out and too people’s saying the cars were junk you should learn to appreciate the original cars they do have and how they survived over almost 100 years and for someone who’s never been to a car show, antique store, or a museum the number one rule is DO NOT TOUCH my dad taught me at a young age too not touch what’s not mine your child is not a exception

What an awesome hidden gem in the City, cannot wait to go back.

Great way to spend a Friday afternoon viewing a fabulous collection of cars from ages past. I took 3 hours gusing over these beauties, each with its own flair and history lesson. I walked and marveled over a collection that is impossible to explain. Thank you for persevering a history that put a smile on my face what a great way to end my work week.

Amazing Experience. The selection is phenomenal.❤

Mind blowing collection. You like old cars. This is the place. I like that nothing is roped off and you can get very close to the cars to admire the detail.

Great collection of cars from all eras, including movie cars, cars of famous individuals and athletes, a great set of mini cars on the second floor that immediately fill you with whimsy. This place is great, the mannequins are scary but the cars are phenomenal.

This is a fantastic collection of cars in a beautiful museum. Id give it 6 stars if I could. Do not miss this one. A++. I was particularly impressed with the quality of the cars.... They were all beautiful.

Great place! Anna was working the front desk. She was great, she gave a very good overview of the collection and set us on our way.The collection was alot of cars mostly from the 1920s to the 1940s. absolutely amazing day. it took us a full three hours to go through the collection although we did go very slow.

Anyone who likes cars is really missing it if they dont make it a point to see the over 300 magnificent automobiles on display here.Some are the only sample of its kind in the world. Mr. Klairmont did us all a big favor by preserving this architectural auto treasure trove.

Very cool place! Such an amazing collection of cars!

An AMAZING private collection of cars, all in mint condition. Lots of unique one-off models and concept cars. A crazy number of Rolls-Royces. Also a separate room with a collection of watches and a room with military memorabilia (the owner is a WWII veteran). Very friendly reception.

Car enthusiasts will love this place! It recently opened to the public and isnt well known YET but it will be! Nearly 400 different automobiles, as well as bicycles, clocks, watches, and other memorabilia. My husband says Anna is the nicest museum staff hes ever met and weve been to car museums in at least 7 other states.

So cool! I didnt know what to expect from description and was blown away. Really cool collection. Beautiful facility with ample parking.

This place is insane. I dont even like cars but I thought it was cool.

The Klairmont kollection.If your a car guy and live in the city. Or suburbs. Visit this museum. Two floors of vehicles. Awesome variety of cars. They have cars built by Barris. Movie cars. One off cars. Years of autos 1920-current. Some multi million dollar cars. Themed rooms. The staff is friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable about the vehicles in the collection. You and your friends or family can easily spend 3 to 4 hours admiring the collection.They also offer private parties within the museum. If you dont want to travel far and like to view automobiles in a climate control environmentThis is the place for you, your friends and family

An incredible experience. The staff are very kind. If you are a car enthusiast or love automotive memorabilia, this is the place for you.

Great place to visit if you love cars and very unusual cars that youve never seen before its definitely worth the look!

This was my first time visiting and I have to admit, that I was amazed at the collection of antiques cars, it bought wonderful memories. I reccomend this place to everyone to go and visit this hidden treasure in chicago. It is worth the time.

So amazing! By far the neatest collection of cars and memorabilia. The gentleman that owns the museum was very nice and his story of his life was very interesting. Its so special that he now shares his collection with the public!

Like a walk back in time: my time, dads time, granddads time. Cars, timepieces, signs, trains, gas station items all there. 1940s music on the loudspeakers. Place is spotless. Cars shine. Windows glisten. The funny thing is also an age appropriate restroom on the 1st floor. Enjoy the museum.

Amazing collection of unique cars. We absolutely loved this museum and meeting the owner was a special treat.

What an unbelievable collection, right in the heart of the north side of Chicago ! Over 300 unique cars under 1 roof.

If you like cars at all this place is really great!

Amazing collection of cars. I just wish the bistro was open for drinks and snacks

This was my first time visiting Klairmont Kollections and I was impressed. It has a wide variety of classic cars including some modern. My two year old loves cars and he had such a good time discovering various design ideas. We loved it.

One of the finest car collections in the country! See it!

It was a total surprise coming here and experiencing this. My girl took me here, and it was probably one of the best highlights of our trip to Chicago. Amazing, giant place with a lot of one-offs and different themes of cars put together. Its truly an experience to come here and check out these cars. They had the Golden Sahara there when we went, and it was definitely worth the visit. NOTE : When you get there, youll have ring a bell to get in. Have a little patience and the wonderful staff will come open the door. Almost left after 2 rings!

One of the most amazing car kollections Ive ever seen highly highly recommended.

Spectacular display of beautiful and unusual automobiles. So well done

The place is amazing. Cars from all around the world as old as 1902 I believe I saw its a great place if you love cars

Collection of cars was unreal! Absolutely amazing experience. Highly recommend visiting!

Amazing collection of unique vehicles & fantastic atmosphere - I will definitely be visiting this place again with a dear friend who would love every bit of it at least as much as I did!

This place was awesome and surprisingly big

OMG! What a great place! They allowed me to take some video for my YouTube channel. A true hidden gem in Chicago.

Great place with unique collection!Definitely coming back. 👍

This place is absolutely incredible!

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 representedI 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.

Great event location!!

Can see lots of historic and unique cars in the past! Kids would definitely love it!

Unbelievable collections a must see or use the space for a evening event

Outstanding collection of cars and automobile memorabilia. Worth a stop if you get the chance.

What a neat place, I never knew it was there. Lots of cars to look at. My favorites are the microcars.

Very enlightening experience if you like classic and antique cars, really enjoyed my time there

Lots of fully restored classic cars

Unbelievable private collections of Cars

Great place to injoy with the family 👪

You have to go there to believe it

Tons to see! Need lots of time, couple hours to go through it.

The food is delicious.

Unique collection of rare antique cars. Very interesting place now open to the public. And also you can rent space for the party. The party I attended was great. Interesting, engaging environment, excellent service. I was surprised it existed in my neighborhood:)

Very interesting 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 :-(

Nine figure collection presented in a surprisingly expansive space. Stunning subject matter on display, curated by passionate experts in elegant fashion. Simple, chronological floor-plan makes for smooth viewing flow. However if youre like me, fatigue hits at the 20 minute mark due to over stimulation.

Unbelievable! I loved it. Amazing collection.

Not just cars, but a walk through history. His collections truly help define American culture and mark our achievements beautifully. The owner is a former Marine that fought in WWII and has a wonderful story that you can watch in his Marine Corps Memorabilia section of the tour. Great for any age.

Holy cow, who knew that such a large and eclectic automobile collection was on the northwest side of Chicago. Klairmont is a great place to learn about and see the story of the automobile. A true hidden gem open to the public.

Well worth the trip.

Lots of cars and memorabilia from diffrent eras

We LOVED this place! Been meaning to come herr for a long while, but always seem to forget when we have the time. Finally made it, and cant recommend it enough. There was a young lady at the front desk that did a great job explaining the lay of the land (and land it is: 100K sq ft/2floors). Many very unique super custom, 1 of a kind jaw dropping vehicles. The floor plan was easy to navigate and the vehicles had a paper detailing the specs, stories behind the cars, and the significance/rarity of them. Easy to momentarily ignore the value of the collection, due to its sheer size, until you see a car you know is almost priceless parked just like it was any of the other 100 cars you just walked by. For me that car was an immaculate 1955 Mercedes SL300 Gullwing, a car that gets auctioned off for millions every couple of years. There was a small room that was playing a documentary about the owner that I hope I can find online because he seems like he has a great story to share alas I had my son with me and the attention span is that of a mosquito. So, definitely a great place to visit, for any man/woman and child (of age, thats not going to try to get into every car lol didnt bring my 5 yo but brought the 7yo)

Simply unbelievable collection of cars. There are rare and one of a kind models as well as memorabilia from all ages of automotive history. Plan to spend a minimum of four hours here if you have a fleeting interest in cars. Plan to come back if you like cars. There is too much history to absorb in just one visit.

Found this place by accident..one of the best amazing car collections I ever seen. Upon arrival I spoke with Ana who was very friendly and knowledgeable about the car collection. If you like automotive history you have to check out this place .This place is awesome!!!

One of the best museums I have seen. Lots of LOVE. The cars are incredible, the best the highest quality, the unique, all of it, for car experts and no experts. But not just the cars, the whole space, all the collections, the music. It was like a magical adventure. A real gem. Thanks Larry.

We celebrated our 20th Anniversary today at Klairmont Kollections and it was so amazing. Our guest were so impressed with Klairmont Kollections and the service they provide. Klairmont Kollections is a Chicago hidden gem! Ana was so helpful during the whole process too!

So cool

This place is awesome, saw a lot of cars I never imagined Id ever get the chance to. Highly recommended if you are into cars

Amazing experience. This place took us to the world of vintage. Hats off to those innovative minds. Big thanks to the staff for such a wonderful gesture. 👍

Nice collection of old cars

Amazing collection of cars. Detail about each and every car is shown on the vehicle. They all run and drive and are not just exhibits. Fascinating story about the owner is shown in a video and I understand he is a frequent visitor even at 91 years of age, when this is written. Well worth a visit.

Omg I would give it 10 Stars if I could but I am a total car buff. It is a perfect place to host an event and then they open up the entire car collection for people to see. If you love perfectly restored amazing vintage cars I would suggest to wear a bucket around your neck because you will be drooling.

Nothing else like it in Chicago. The only downside to the number of cars is that they are sometimes too close together for the best viewing.Very eclectic collection.

If u love cars like every one that is involved at the museum, u will be right at home there.I respect what the owner has done and staff 👍🏁♥️🇮🇹

What an awesome experience! This is the best collection of cars I have ever seen. We cant wait to go back and take more time. Thank you Larry & Al Klairmont.

This place is so neat!! Mr. Klairmont is so sweet and welcoming!! He collects more than one of a kind cars, he had an amazing 500 watch collection!! Go if you get the chance!!!

Love the way this place is set up. The collection is extensive. From the classic to the modern. For any car enthusiast, this place is a must.

The collection is truly breathtaking and outstanding. The staff are also very friendly and knowledgeable. It was an honour for me to be able to get close to a diverse range of legendary automotive masterpieces, from the Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing, to the 2002 Lincoln Continental concept car, to every classic Rolls Royce you could think of, and far far more.

The most amazing private collection of automobiles I have ever seen!

Excellent hidden gem of a museum in Chicago.

I hope my garage in heaven is even half as good as this impeccable collection of fantastic, rare automobiles.

Great old car museum. Amazing to see so many cars all in grest shape. Very enjoyable afternoon.

AMAZING collection. So much to see, with incredible detail. If you enjoy history, and appreciate one of a kind automobiles. Then this a Museam you need to visit. Too much to see in one day.

Very nice collection. Great place to spend a few hours.

Amazing collection if you are a car guy it is the place to go. Very nice staff.

Attended BJE Gala, spectacular place, beautiful cars. Need a day to take your time and truly appreciate the beauty of these autos!!!

The cars there were amazing. The service was amazing. Great place to visit. Strongly recommended.

Unreal collection of classic, vintage and unique cars.

One of the nicest public collections I have seen.

I Always take my children out to see new and exciting things to learn. Upon my arrival, My children and I were super excited to see antique car collection we had previously reviewed on YouTube! Of course anyone knows when dealing with antiques or valuables you have to be very very cautious and NOT TOUCH! The lady which was in the video (On YouTube For Klairmont Kollection)stopped us at the door. No greeting of any sort but you can tell she was going to be very judgmental. So I decided to smile and say hello and ask if this was the Museum? She said “yes” then began telling me make sure my children don’t touch and if we know the definition of “Antiques” ? blocking us from coming inside we were basically still between the door. I then told her as my youngest son was in arms and my 16 year old on my side That I know how to control my children they are not misbehaved as well as telling her the meaning of Antiques! And how important they are. She then goes on an questioned me saying are u going to hold them? Of cours! I replied( I’m still smiling at this point trying not to allow unhappiness interfere) Again we don’t allow touching! She then goes on and say again please make sure they won’t touch? And if you touch an antiques do you know what it can do? Then she says well we charge for adults but I’ll have to charge you 27.50 and your son. (charging my child as an adult without asking the age) ok no problem, We had a list of places to go too and this One was on the list so we were running on schedule it was already 3:30 by the time she got done talking we only had 20 min. Which was ok because from the viewpoint it wasn’t very many cars.. Anyway, She then goes on again about how important the cars are and if I’ll make sure they don’t touch and so forth.......and so forth ......After that I just said forget it! She made us feel very uncomfortable (I guess was her Intentions) ....But after witnessing that I see why no one else was there.It was unfortunate that she didn’t allow us to view their wonderful kollection. But won’t ever be back here again !God Bless this lady.Response to Respondent.....Rather 15min or 20sec it’s about the Experience and the treatment. And with the way you respond to my review I’m guessing your the lady at the door. :) (or a Grand “child” waiting on Inheritance) Thee experience of how people like you still Exist was worth every penny and that was “Free” enough.

What a awesome Museum displays have some amazing cars that are just absolutely gorgeous

Great car collection. The staff was super friendly, we even got to meet the owner

Very nice and good collection of antique cars, nice place to throw parties..

Great place to come with the whole family. Has cars from all round the world. They have classics, fanous custom cars, race/newer cars as well.

Excellent collection. Beautiful space. Wonderful staff!!

Incredible and mind-boggling collection of amazing motor vehicles

Pretty much a giant showcase of rolls royces and cadillacs. No one there with any kind of knowledge about the automobiles they do have.

A lot of nice cars but a lot of fakes and replicas. One visit was more than enough.

If you love cars this is a must see

Great collection! Price is a bit steep, but I would say overall it was worth it.

Absolutely a amazing collection of cars, our whole family had a great time.
