Chicago Auto Fans: Last Chance to See Larry Klairmont’s Rare Car Collection This Weekend

There’s a bittersweet feeling in the air as the automotive world reflects on one of its most beloved custodians. The Klairmont Kollections Automotive Museum in Chicago, long a haven for enthusiasts seeking inspiration, beauty, and history on four wheels, has now closed its doors following the passing of founder Larry Klairmont.

For those eager to experience Larry’s remarkable vehicles in person, the museum will open for a final preview on September 13–14 and September 19 only. Outside of these dates, the museum remains closed, making this a rare opportunity to explore the incredible diversity of cars Larry collected over a lifetime—from Jeeps and muscle cars to pre-war classics, modern luxury vehicles, and one-of-a-kind concept cars.
