AFAIK, this is a traveling exhibit, it's popped up in several museums around the country over the years. As a huge Bond fan, I'd love to check it out, and Chicago is as close as it's ever been to me. Hmm....

A local restaurateur owned one of the four DB5s used in Goldfinger - he had it in a big glass display compartment at his restaurant.
Ooh Ah, we have relatives in Chicago we see frequently. Gotta figure out a way to get there and see the exhibit. No job is a bitch!
