While you’re out on the road this summer, traveling to and
from engine shows, you might just want to stop by an interesting
attraction in upstate New York. Located at 321 North Clinton Street
in Syracuse, NY 13202, is the Museum of Automobile History, the
largest private collection of ‘automobilia’ in the world
(there are NO actual cars here).

Founded in 1997, the museum is the brainchild of Walter Miller,
a Syracuse man who has been fascinated with automobile history
since the age of five.

Miller began purchasing automobilia as a teenager and eventually
grew a business which is the largest automobile literature business
in the world, boasting over 2,000,000 pieces in stock. Miller was
fortunate to purchase the personal library of Floyd Clymer, leading
publisher of automobile books from the 1930s to 1960s, as well as
other significant private collections.

The 12,000 square foot museum is open from 10 to 5 Wednesday
through Sunday and charges a modest admission fee. It is located
right off the New York State Thruway and Route 81 in downtown
Syracuse near Clinton Square and the Herald-Journal building. For
information, call 315-478-CARS or visit the internet site at
www.autolit.com.
