Due to the death of my husband, Bruce Moerman, I have closed Bruce Moerman Restoration. I have commissioned Art Smith Auctioneers to conduct an Auction to sell the listed vehicles, tractors, auto body shop tools, automotive restoration tools, trailers and collectibles at Public Auction. I would like to thank you in advance for your time, consideration and support.
Very best regards, Sandy Moerman
NOTE: Bruce & Sandy owned and operated this auto restoration shop here on 20 Mile Road for nearly 40 years. They restored dozens of vintage autos plus built hot rods, stock cars and racing go carts. Bruce also worked 30 years as a tool machine builder. The shop and pole barns are full to the max with 100’s of tools and 100’s of auto parts. Vintage autos, tractor, lawn equipment plus antiques & collectibles make this a most interesting Auction.
For your convenience we will have a lunch truck, port-a-jons and all off street field parking.
