"The Kemp Auto Museum is home to one of North America’s finest private
collections of Mercedes Benz ever displayed in one location.
Creating the exhibit on display at the Kemp Auto Museum has been a 30 year
process. It began when Fred M. Kemp, Sr. purchased his first Mercedes. Kemp
spent many years researching and acquiring the 40+ rare and classic automobiles
currently found in our collection. Autos from all over the world have been
brought together and are now showcased in our gallery to learn about and enjoy!
Until 2004 the vehicles were stored at various locations throughout the St.
Louis area. It was always a dream of Kemp's to bring all of the automobiles
together and develop a museum where the public could enjoy and learn from his
collection. In April of 2005 Kemp's dream became a reality as we opened the
doors to the Kemp Auto Museum" ~ Kemp Auto Museum website
