Well, how about Ralph's new lift? 
A little less car-intensive but interesting nevertheless: the Field Museum, which has, among other things, the lions which are depicted in the movie, "Ghost in the Darkness"; the Museum of Science and Industry, which has, or used to have, anyway, Chris Karamesines' first 200MPH ChiZler and Art Arfons' Green Monster; and the Adler planetarium.

The Museum of Science and Industry also has the Blue Flame land speed record car, and an United Airlines Boeing 727 hanging from the ceiling. They also have pilots that flew the aircraft on duty everyday to answer questions--I was going to sign up to help but the new uniform I bought when in B777 school must of been made outta imported fabric as it is too tight around the middle now---and I think someone told them that I would probably be hanging around the cars most of the time---
Also they have a captured German Submarine

Forget about the cars!
“Hagen’s” for fried shrimp….5635 w. Montrose
“Due” for Pizza….619 N. Wabash
“Portillo’s” for Italian beef sandwiches.
Geez, I really miss that stuff.

We could always have a snake and eggs if you're here on a weekend.
You could even see Wolfie and Ralphie in their leiderhosen or pantyhosen.

There used to be a AMG dealer in Dowers Grove. Are there any vintage car dealers? Older collectable cars? Porsches? Vettes? other? thanks

As speed said earlier, it depends on when you'll be here. He mentioned the best car related items that are coming up, and Volo has also been mentioned. I'm sure the AMG dealer is gone from Glen Ellyn - if a company closes and property becomes available in the 'burbs, you can bet someone is going to build on it. Hummmmm.........too cold to go out to Rt.66 for any fun..........can't think of anything else "car related" unless you simply want to visit car dealerships (plenty of those!). Someone mentioned D&M in Glen Ellyn, but there is another D&M (not related) on Ogden Ave that usually has a nice crop of older auto's - mostly Vette's though.
While you're here, don't forget to visit a few quality restaurants. Some nice places have already been mentioned, but Sullivan's and Rose Buds are 2 of my personal favorites. If you're out in Bolingbrook head to Brandmour's for a 28oz Porterhouse (ask for Sheila). In Oak Brook, head to Magnum's or The Club House. St. Charles has the best burger / fries I've ever had at The Filling Station............I could go on, but I'm getting too hungry.

Blas, is that the place where Marty raves about the "Hummers?"
If he's into Cobras, he probably won't be interested in THAT kind of vehicle.
