    Description

    Vintage souvenir booklet - Melton Museum of Antique Automobiles, Norwalk, Conn., cardboard covers, spiral bound, 7” x 10”, 30 pages, photos on most pages and list of cars in the collection, complete to my knowledge.
    Signed by Melton.
    It was located in Connecticut opening in 1948 and only remaining there for a few years. This Museum moved to Florida in the 1950s eventually closing after Melton’s death in 1961. Melton was better known as a singer.
    I rarely say something is rare, but I cannot find other copies being offered anywhere right now.
    A virtual lecture is scheduled on 27 April 22 given by the Norwalk Historical Society about the Museum.
