Come with us on a reach back to automotive and collectible history for a guided tour of the Nethercutt Collection in the North SF Valley. The Nethercutt Collection & Museum houses several hundred Antique, Vintage Black Iron and Classic automobiles, displayed in a beautiful setting, together with the finest assemblage of Mechanical Musical Instruments, which will be demonstrated on the 2 hour tour. An optional and additional visit to the 1937 Royal Hudson Locomotive & 1912 Pullman Private Car is also available after the Nethercutt Collection tour and begins at 12:30pm.
The Nethercutt was founded in 1956 by J.B. Nethercutt and his wife Dorothy who found beauty in classic autos. J.B. was an heir to the Merle Norman Cosmetics fortune which his son and daughter-in-law run today. J.B. and Dorothy continued collecting and restoring until their passing in 2004. J.B.'s son, Jack and his wife, Helen continue today both at the Museum and Merle Norman.
