Fantastic piece of history. This museum has everything an auto enthusiast is looking for from manufacturing exhibits to some fine samples of automobiles. Great gift shop. No admission fee. Downtown Pontiac IL is located on old Route 66. There are several museums and restaurants that are very tourist friendly.

Some of the finest displays I’ve seen. Loved the iPhone audio app for key areas!I wish the front door clerks were empowered though as I desired to enter the library archives with one on a Sunday afternoon to look up a car history and they preferred to sit and remain on their iPhones & social media instead.

If you visit Pontiac, IL, it is a must visit museum. Pontiacs diverse differentials are exhibited. Admission is free, but there is a donation box. There is a small gift shop, but there is no attractive product. This museum is made up of several museums in Pontiac. There is free parking for 2 hours in front of the museum.

Review №53

Drove about 4 hours to get to the museum. There is not a ton to see (about 20 vehicles). However, what is there is a good representation. Plus admission is free and the place is very nice. Being a Pontiac lover and restorer having a source for research is great as well. If you are not a a Pontiac Person and just want to see cars more than a 2 hour drive might be disappointing. There are many other sights however in this small quaint downtown area.
