When he was six years old, Walter Miller began clipping automobile advertisements from old magazines. Not long after, he collected his first auto promotion brochure.
That was twenty-seven years ago, and today Walter Miller has more than one million pieces of auto literature, more than any museum, and the largest such collection under one roof anywhere in the world.
Word of the collection has spread among automobile enthusiasts throughout the world. When a collector wants to find the original showroom brochure for his special car, chances are, he’ll check to see if Walter Miller has it.
In fact, Walter MiUer receives more than 1,000 inquiries a week from car enthusiasts throughout the world searching for original auto company promotional brochures, catalogs, owner’s and repair manuals, postcards, photographs, poster and auto showroom display items dating back to the 1890s right on through the 1980s.
