Peoria Riverfront Museum hosts its first ever car show as an exhibit send-off
PEORIA, Ill. (WMBD) — The Peoria Riverfront Museum is saying goodbye to its custom car exhibit in style.
Sunday was the last day of 'Built: American Custom Car Culture' at the museum.
Vintage cars, muscle cars and even a Batmobile lined Southwest Water Street, showcasing some of the coolest rides in central Illinois.
Everley Davis with the riverfront museum said it's the perfect send-off for the exhibit.
'What we wanted to do for the last day was to celebrate a piece of that car culture, which is car shows. We have a whole section out here with the slow pokes and their cars, and they were the first to produce a national car show and then just fill the rest of the space with amazing builds from our community,' said Davis.
The next exhibit taking the space will be the world's largest dinosaur from the American Museum of Natural History.
