Bill Miller Jr. co-founded Carlisle Events in 1974. While his name has been attached to Americas Automotive Hometown of Carlisle, Pa., for nearly 50 years, his passion for all things automotive goes back to his early years as an enthusiast. As one can imagine, someone as passionate as Bill has amassed quite the collection of automotive items, and as part of this years Fall Carlisle Collector Car Auction, select pieces of that collection will be sold. The Bill Miller collection will be sold at two venues. On Monday and Tuesday, Sept. 26 and 27, at 10 a.m. each day, Miller plans to offer thousands of items, parts, merchandise, collectibles, and more as the first half of his collection sale. These items include literature, car parts, signage, showroom banners from his dealership days, bikes, toys, a snowmobile (with snowmobile trailer), shirts, fairgrounds collectibles, pictures, posters, and some autographed items. Along with the two-day merchandise sale, Miller will also move 20 classic and collector cars across the auction block on Thursday, Sept. 29, at approximately 3 p.m. These lots span from the 1930s to the 2000s and are low milage and, in some cases, one-owner cars. Miller has identified a pair of Kaiser Darrens for the Fall Carlisle Collector Car Auction; two 1981 VW trucks, including one thats never been titled; and a 1958 Cadillac two-door hard top with 12,000 original miles and original tires. Also heading to auction is his 1936 Ford pickup, one that many Carlisle guests have seen him drive at the Carlisle Ford Nationals; a 1972 VW Bug convertible; a 1938 Chrysler Royal Convertible; a 1986 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS with 11,000 miles; a 1953 Kaiser Manhattan Sedan with 20,000 original miles; a 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible with 27,000 original miles; a 1985 Chevrolet El Camino with 60,000 original miles; and a 1987 Chevrolet El Camino with 8,000 original miles. I have been collecting cars, parts, and memorabilia all my life, said Miller. It is time to part with my collection so many other hobbyists can enjoy these treasures just as I have. I have owned some cars more than 50 years, so here is an opportunity to own some great original automobiles, continued Miller. I have been a purist for collecting original cars as they are only original once. I just love how the factories built them with precision and accuracy. The two-day merchandise sale will take place in and around the former Smiths Appliance Building, located at 1188 Spring Road in Carlisle, across the street from the Fairgrounds Diner and Desperate Times Brewery. The car collection will be positioned for preview and sale at the Carlisle Expo Center, located at 100 K. Street. While each sale is part of the Bill Miller collection, they will be managed separately. Merchandise will be sold through a third-party auctioneer, while the cars will be managed by Carlisle Auctions. The merchandise will be auctioned at no reserve, and there will be no fees associated with bidding or buying. Meanwhile, industry standard auction rules and practices will apply for the automotive portion of the collection on Sept. 29.
