Tom and Don Salmon were raised on an Arkansas farm; their Dad drove a truck for a living. In 1957, when the new Chevrolet models were introduced, there was no way that the Salmon family could afford to purchase one. Tom, Don, and their father (until his passing in 1988) worked diligently to build a successful transportation business which contracts with the United States Postal Service for mail delivery. From these humble beginnings, twin brothers Tom and Don agreed between themselves that if they could ever afford it, that they would like to own a 1957 Chevrolet in every color that was produced by the factory!

It took a number of years to accomplish that goal, but that is exactly what the brothers did. In fact, the Salmon Brothers automobile collection has gone way beyond 1957 Chevrolets to include nearly every domestic manufacturer ranging from a 1908 Maxwell to a Roush-powered 2008 Ford Mustang … plus Corvettes, Muscle Cars, Classics, and Antiques. One hundred years of American automotive history living under one roof.

Regarding the pre-war classics in the collection, Don states “After we had the Chevrolet collection assembled, we began to like the classics, so we began to buy them.” When asked about the size of the Salmon Brothers collection, Tom, with a smile adds, “I just forgot to take my hand down!”

Being twins, Tom and Don have had a unique relationship with respect to how certain cars came to be part of the collection, as they have always conferred with one another before making an acquisition.

Admitting to “Slowing down a bit” (although showing very little signs of it), Tom and Don decided after their last birthday to allow their collection of cars to be sold and appreciated by new owners.

Tom states, “We’ve both had a great time with these cars, and we’ll continue to collect automobiles, just on a smaller scale.”

In 1950 Willys introduced the first postwar Jeep, the MC38, which was based on the previous year’s CJ-3A. The M38 was followed in 1953 by the M39A1, the first to feature the new so-called “round-fendered” body that also incorporated a taller hood line to accommodate the new taller Hurricane 4-cylinder inline engine. This Army model MC38A1 Jeep was produced in 1964 and now shows a believed-actual 26,081 original miles. In keeping with its Army designation, this example is equipped with a rear mounted spare tire and canteen; it has also been retrofitted with turn signals for road use.

In 1955 Chevrolet merged pickup utility with passenger car styling in the revolutionary Cameo, which wore Fleetside fiberglass rear fenders and such Chevy passenger car elements as an eggcrate grille, wraparound glass and a fan-shaped instrument cluster. This attractive 1955 Cameo began its life in the California State Forest Service. It has been restored to correct Bombay Ivory and Cameo Red color scheme and is powered by a 235 CI inline-6 with a 4-speed manual transmission. Believed to have 15,601 original miles, it also sports optional heater and radio, wide Whitewalls and full wheel covers.

After extending its postwar styling for four years, Mercury created a new identity in 1949 with a clean new approach to styling that set new sales records and established the Merc as an American classic. This Calcutta Green 1949 coupe demonstrates the Mercury’s strengths with its long hood/short deck shape, integrated fenders and high grade interior. Its immaculate engine compartment hosts a nicely finished flathead V-8 topped with a chrome oil bath air cleaner and backed by a column-shifted 3-speed manual, and the car’s cosmetics are enhanced by bumper guards and fender skirts, dual mirrors, chromed wheel covers and wide Whitewalls.

After its 1962 introduction as a mild-mannered economy compact with sporting pretensions, the Chevrolet Nova SS achieved full membership in the American muscle car fraternity with the addition of the L79 327/350 HP small block engine. Described as “The mouse that roared”, the L79’s special hydraulic cam, high-flow heads and 11:1 compression give this genuine 118-code Nova Super Sport Corvette-grade acceleration and performance with a 4-speed manual transmission to maximize the fun.

The product of a frame-on restoration in the mid 2000s, it is abundantly well equipped with power steering and brakes, the full complement of power accessories, cruise control, chromed wire wheels and wide Whitewall tires and factory air conditioning.

The 1924 Model T offered here is part of that historical landmark production year.

While based on the early 40s K-series truck design that established its maker’s reputation for tough, hard-working vehicles, this 1948 International KB woody wagon is a uniquely elegant departure from its more purposeful stable mates that shows surprising style and flair. A nicely restored example with quality Black paint, top, interior and wood framing, the 1100 series woody wagon rolls on Yellow steel wheels wearing wide Whitewall Firestone tires. Unusual for an International of any model, it benefits stylistically from the abundant use of exterior chrome on the bumpers, grill, trim rings and hubcaps, spotlight and pop-out windshield surround.

With all the muscle emanating from Detroit in the late Sixties, it is easy to forget that there were also such boldly styled and elegant machines as this 1969 Buick Riviera Gran Sport, which shows a believed-actual 31,656 original miles. Finished in Trumpet Gold with a Beige vinyl top and matching interior, this handsome Riviera GS came with air conditioning, power steering and brakes, power windows, bucket seats, a unique console-mounted shifter and tilt steering.

Founded in 1907 by Edward M. Murphy, the Oakland Automobile Company was the successor to Murphy’s Pontiac Buggy Company of Pontiac, Michigan. General Motors purchased Oakland just before Murphy’s death, positioning the new brand between the lower priced Chevrolet and the more upscale Buick product lines. This 1920 Model C roadster reflects the Oakland’s evolution over its first decade, incorporating the popular Sensible Six inline engine with a standard transmission on a 118-inch wheelbase frame rolling on wooden spoked wheels. Fitted with a Black top and interior, fold-out windscreen with deflectors, dual mirrors, a wood steering wheel and rear-mounted spare, the Wine-hued open body sits on Black fenders and running boards, its polished radiator shell topped with an exceptionally rare Oakland Moto-Meter.

One of America’s pioneering production compact cars, the Kaiser-Frazer Henry J Deluxe was named after the company’s chairman, automotive tycoon Henry J. Kaiser and aimed at less affluent entry-level buyers. Produced from 1951 to 1954, the short-lived Henry J has since become an increasingly popular collector car. The 1951 Henry J Deluxe offered here is a very nicely done frame-on restoration attractively finished in Pastel Yellow with an inviting Red interior, and is one of approximately 43,000 Deluxe models built that year. It is well appointed with chromed bumpers, heater and radio, chromed wheel covers and wide Whitewall tires.

Oldsmobile’s Super 88 was already a roaring success when Lansing introduced the 1956 model. More power was on the menu in the improved 322/240 HP Rocket engine, and this example’s Jet-A-Way automatic transmission, power steering and power brakes give it the highest level of performance available in the 1956 Super 88. Its two-tone Festival Red and Alcan White color scheme is repeated in the opulent interior featuring tuck-and-roll upholstery, convenience lighting and a signal-seeking radio.

Under the forward-opening hood, Ford’s Y-block 292 CI Thunderbird engine is fitted with dual 4-barrel carburetors on an aluminum intake manifold, twin chromed air cleaners and high-flow exhaust manifolds, with power steering, Town & Country radio and air conditioning rounding out the equipment list.

Lot S40 1952 HUDSON HORNET HOLLYWOOD 308 CI, Automatic

With their innovative “step-down” bodies and NASCAR championship-winning inline 6-cylinder engines, Hudson was a force to be reckoned with in the early 1950s. Leading the way in performance and styling was the Hudson Hornet Hollywood, whose moniker reflected its glamorous demeanor. This rare code 7B 2-door hardtop example shows beautifully in deep Dark Maroon paint with a matching Maroon interior. The exterior gets the full load with a body-color windshield visor, fender skirts, bumper guards, fog lamps, chromed wheel covers on wide Whitewalls and dual exhaust tips, while the elegant interior offers Hudson’s distinctive twin-bezel instrument panel, heater and tissue dispenser and a period-typical traffic light viewer.

The predecessor to the baseline Biscayne model in Chevrolet’s full size lineup, the 210 was available in upgraded form as the Del Ray, which offered a higher quality interior and more exterior chrome for an upscale feel on a value budget. This nicely restored 1956 Del Ray 2-door sedan is an excellent example of the model equipped with a superbly detailed 235 CI straight six engine and 3-speed manual and beautifully finished in Matador Red on India Ivory, with Red-painted chrome-trimmed wheels wearing wide Whitewall tires.

The fifth-generation Chevrolet Corvette reached its full potential in the mighty Z06 fixed roof coupe, whose LS6 346/405 HP all-aluminum small block enabled both comfortable low-speed operation and incredible acceleration and response.

Showing just 11,451 miles on the clock, this expertly restored 1964 Pontiac Grand Prix demonstrates the strength of the model in its early form, which was the result of a fruitful collaboration between GM’s Bill Mitchell and Pontiac chief Bunkie Knudson.

Charles W. Nash wasted no time getting back into the car business after resigning as president of General Motors in 1916, buying the Thomas B. Jeffery Company of Kenosha, Wisconsin and beginning production as the Nash Motor Company in April 1918. Produced at the height of the Roaring Twenties, this 1928 Nash 335 Cabriolet embodies Nash’s philosophy of producing solid, quality cars at reasonable prices. Its tri-tone Burgundy, Cream and Black color scheme suggests the elegance found in the well-appointed shark-grain leather interior, which features a sculpted walnut steering wheel, inlaid wood dash, fold-out windshield and canvas top. Nash’s reliable 184 CI six cylinder is backed by a 3-speed manual transmission, and cosmetics are rounded out by painted steel wheels and a Boyce Moto-Meter.

The F Series pickups were the centerpiece of Ford’s postwar line of “Bonus Built” trucks introduced in 1951. This restored long-wheelbase F2 stake bed pickup showcases the first-year model’s toothy grille and roomy “Million Dollar” cab that Ford promoted as possessing “living room comfort.” Brightly finished in Red with chromed wheel trim and Black underpinnings, it features a flathead V-8 and floor-shifted 3-speed manual beneath its bullnose hood, a fresh-looking Grey bench seat interior and nicely finished wood cargo bed.

The Lincoln Continental first appeared in 1940 as a personal luxury car designed and hand-built for Edsel Ford, but individually crafted production models were soon made available to status-conscious buyers looking for an exclusive status symbol. All the elements are here in this exemplary Continental convertible finished in Dark Blue with a very nice Beige soft top. The side-valve V-12 Lincoln engine and 3-speed transmission deliver characteristically smooth power, and occupants are treated to a luxurious cabin with leather seating and an ornately finished dash with an Art Deco-style clock and instruments.

This 1958 Chevrolet Impala 2-door hardtop was sold new in Mesa, Arizona, where it spent the first 40 years of its life before receiving a ground-up restoration in 1999. Beautifully finished in correct Cashmere Blue, it has a wonderfully evocative matching Blue interior with the original tri-tone seat covers and headliner, new carpeting and new door trim.

This charming 1928 Ford Model A roadster pickup exemplifies the first year iteration of the long-awaited replacement for the aging Model T. Like most early Model A pickups, this older restoration is an open roadster model with wooden cargo bed, folding top and wire wheels; in this case, added extras include wind wings, an external sun shade, a side-mount spare tire with cover and an expanding luggage rack. The Model A’s lighter and more powerful L-head inline 4-cylinder engine displaces 200 cubic inches and generates 40 horses to a “modern” floor-shifted 3-speed manual transmission.

An extremely well preserved frame-off restoration completed in 1990, this 1966 Dodge Hemi Coronet is one of just 96 produced employing the incredibly powerful 426/425 HP Hemi powerplant in conjunction with Chrysler’s 3-speed Torqueflite automatic transmission. Finished in Ruby Red with a matching Red bench seat interior, the car shows a believed-actual 23,009 original miles, a fact reflected in its superior presentation. Painted steel wheels, dog dish hub caps and BF Goodrich Silvertown Blue Streak tires give this 2-door hardtop a decidedly “old school” sleeper appearance- at least until one gets close enough to notice those “426 Hemi” front fender badges!

Willys-Overland celebrated its “Fiftieth Year of Building Rugged, Economical Motor Vehicles” by introducing the Aero Deluxe line of cars designed by Brooks Stevens. Its Aeroframe unibody engineering drew rave reviews, but its high price point resulted in disappointing sales, making this Gulf Blue example one of just 1,500 Aeros built. Powered by the unique F-head Kaiser Super Hurricane 6 engine with column-shift 3-speed manual transmission, this Aero Deluxe is finished with a Mid-Grey mohair interior and trimmed with Blue painted steel wheels, Willys hubcaps and chromed bumpers.

Although Cincinnati entrepreneur Powell Crosley, Jr. made his fortune in radio and appliances, his first love was always the automobile, and in 1939 he introduced a tiny 2-cylinder economy car for the mass market. World War II interrupted production, which resumed in 1947 with models like this Beige convertible sedan, winner of the 1985 AACA First Prize. The subject of a body-on restoration, the 80-inch wheelbase convertible is powered by one of the first American production engines with an oversquare bore/stroke and an overhead cam and comes with a radio and heater, Red painted wheels and chromed hubcaps.

A chrome-dressed 394 CI Starfire V-8 delivers sparkling performance through a console-shift automatic, with air conditioning, power steering and brakes and power windows, locks and seats rounding out the generous options list.

In 1970 there were few more purposeful machines in Chevrolet’s lineup than this sinister-looking, all-Black Nova SS coupe. Its SS and “396” badges, imitation hood vents, Black painted steelies, dog dish caps, Redline tires and Spartan interior - complete with split bench seat and rubber floor covering - barely hint at the presence of a matching numbers L78 396/375 HP 4-barrel big block engine, whose 4-bolt main bottom end and heavy duty internals allowed 6,000-plus RPM performance. Power steering, power brakes and dual exhaust maximize the car’s performance.

Smooth contours, Art Deco touches and a distinctly aggressive visage have made the 1940 Ford a styling landmark that lives on in examples like this attractive Maroon 2-door Deluxe sedan, which is well turned out with a unique split back window, chrome bumpers and extensions, a front grille guard, fog lights, chromed hub caps and trim rings and wide Whitewall tires.

Contemporary comparison tests consistently showed that the second generation Dodge Viper in GTS coupe form stood virtually alone at the top of the performance car world. With just 2,047 miles on the clock, this 2000 Viper GTS coupe is wrapped in the Steel Grey Metallic paint introduced that year and fitted with a Black leather interior equipped with air conditioning, power windows and locks and a 7,000 RPM tach to monitor the 8.0 L/450 HP aluminum V-10 engine.
