The era of 15-cent hamburgers under the golden arches may be disappearing from the Des Plaines landscape. But a movement is afoot to find the iconic McDonald’s museum a new home in Volo.

“I’d love to be able to relocate and restore the entire structure,” said Brian Grams, director of the Volo Auto Museum at 27582 Volo Village Road.

Ever since he learned Tuesday of McDonald’s plans to demolish the Ray Kroc-inspired replica that long has stood in the location of the first “modern-era” McDonald’s in Des Plaines, Grams has been intrigued. He even invited the Volo Auto Museum’s Facebook fans to chime in through a Shortstack campaign.

Within hours, thousands of fans responded with a resounding McYes to the question: “Should McDonald’s allow Volo Auto Museum to purchase and relocate the [McDonald’s] museum to Volo?” The post had more than 1,050 shares by Wednesday afternoon, and 2,129 thumbs up.

One commenter, Gina Sicuro Hermreck, identified herself as the daughter of sign builder Joe Sicuro, who, she said, was approached by Kroc in the ’50s to fabricate and design the “Speedee, the Hamburger Head” neon sign that still graces the Des Plaines museum.

“It holds a special place in my heart,” she wrote. “We lost our dad in May 2016, and driving through Des Plaines and seeing his sign is a comfort. He was very proud of the work he did and knowing his art will be appreciated is a wonderful thing. Thank you again so much for your efforts ... hoping it is a success!”

Grams submitted a query to McDonald’s Corporate Headquarters in Oak Brook Wednesday, and said he looks forward to hearing back.

“Our interest is in preserving this American icon,” Grams said. “If, for some reason, it does not work out that we can move the entire structure, we certainly hope to come away with some artifacts. But the goal is the whole thing. We’ll see.”
