Throughout the years, manufacturers, such as Monroe Shocks and Champion Spark plugs, have given premiums, or gifts if you will, to customers as way of promoting their company and saying thanks at the same time. Many of these items have become collectable, including this Delco Shock premium of a wind-up 1957 Chevy from the early 60's.
 
 
 


 
 
 

Each year, Wix Filters issues a different die-cast model. We offer these very popular models as they
become available. We also have the complete collection on display.
 
 
 
 
 
 


 

Since we began our collection, many contributions of rare and unique auto parts have come from manufacturer representatives, friends and customers.
 
 
 
 
 


 

However, much of the collection comes from our family's  memorabilia  accumulated through our many years in business.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


Photos of old Utica, Michigan are included in the collection, as our great-grandmother, Mary Priemer, was born here on Auburn St. in 1870.  Also on display are auto parts catalogs from the 20's and 30's used by our grandfather L.N. Decker.
