About Merrick Auto Museum
The Merrick Auto Museum was incorporated in 1992 by Jim and Richard Merrick. The Merrick’s were avid automobile enthusiasts with a passion for both the hobby and history of the industry.
They started the collection with 11 fully restored antique automobiles. Over the years they grew the collection to include 100+ automobiles, with a full research library, and automobile memorabilia.
In 2019 the car collection was sold at RM Sotheby’s Auction.
Today the Merrick Auto Museum holds one of the world’s largest collections of automobile literature, ranging from the 1800’s to present day.
In 2020, the museum purchased Walter Millers Collection, growing the museum’s library to include a wide range of post war literature.
