Anyone know of any motorcycle or car museums near Chicago. May end up there for a couple days soon.

if you are in Chicago you are not too far from Milwaukee and the Harley Museum

Volo is over an hour drive northwest of downtown Chicago in light traffic, HD in Milwaukee can be more than 2 hours if you hit traffic.

 

If you are driving in from Ohio:

Studebaker Museum in South Bend, Indiana

RV Museum in Elkhart, IN

Auburn, Cord, Duesenburg Musesum in Auburn, IN (just north of Ft Wayne)

Early Ford Museum in Auburn

National Auto & Truck in Auburn

Not a car or bike museum but it has a lot of tanks is the 1st division museum in Wheaton, Il. It is located west of Chicago but drive able and is very interesting. Here is a link to it. http://www.firstdivisionmuseum.org/

They have a very good museum about the history of the Big Red One thru the history of the unit.

Consider the Museum of Science and Industry. It's at 5700 S. Lake Shore Drive, or just south of I-55. I know it's not just cars and motorcycles, but every time I've been there I spent the entire day totally engrossed in all the displays. It is a huge museum, you can't see it all in 1 day. It's not cheap, the minimum ticket is $18 and I think you pay for parking also.
