ever heard of the Richard W. Erickson Antique & Classic Museum in Utah? It's a 50 year collection that fills 24 buildings, has 120 antique tractors, and a 60s vintage service station


Richard grew up in a farming family in Minnesota and was drafted into the military during the Korean War. When he reported for duty in San Diego, he drove through Utah and fell in love with it.

When his service was up Erickson "went back home, packed his flathead Ford car, strapped his Harley-Davidson motorcycle on the back of it, and he drove to Utah.”

the museum collection includes a 1938 Lincoln Zephyr that was used in the 1991 film “Bugsy,” 
a 1913 Pierce Arrow 48-B Runabout Motorcar, 
a 1931 Packard Model 833, 
a 1936 Cadillac Phaeton Fleetwood that belonged to an English baron, 
and Steve McQueen’s 1946 Indian Motorcycle — one of his personal riders.
