Wilmette History Museum

The Annual Car Show is back, and this year we are celebrating the history of Japanese cars! Japanese cars entered the United States in the late 1950s, then took off in popularity during the 1970s as oil prices rose and smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicles became increasingly popular with American drivers. Today, their impact can still be seen in familiar brands like Honda, Subaru, Toyota, and Nissan, as well as the many models that have become favorites among car enthusiasts.
Come out to see a great selection of Japanese cars spanning various makes, models, and eras, visit the Museum, and enjoy a fun day with the whole family. We’ll have fun family events planned, so stay tuned for more.
The Car Show is free and open to everyone!
Thanks to our sponsor, Wilmette Auto Body
