Default Pontiac, IL Pontiac Museum

Wife's family is from Pontiac and we were in town visiting this weekend so we stopped by the new (since July 2011) Pontiac Oakland museum in downtown Pontiac, IL.

http://www.pontiacoaklandmuseum.org/

Very impressive - couple of cars missing at World Of Wheels this weekend. Highly recommended - not to far from Chicago. Good places to eat right downtown as well.

Cool place, I've been there myself. The thing that amazed me was all the literature,manuals, and brochures the have in the reference room....we literally spent several hours in there looking through all that information!
