Zeb Morris came by his love of cars late in life, but once ignited, his passion burned bright. After a career selling medical supplies and building a cattle ranching operation with his wife Mary, Zeb decided at the age of 67 to retire and relax. Friends introduced him to the world of performance Pontiacs at such events as the Tri Power Nationals, the GTO National Convention in Dayton, Ohio and other venues, where he met the Pontiac crowd and was bitten by their passion.
In just eighteen months, Zeb had erected a dedicated building, populated it with vintage signs and collected over 30 of the finest Tri Power convertibles and Ram Air Judge GTOs in the country. The Zeb Morris Collection soon became widely acknowledged as one of the best Pontiac collections in the world. Zeb collected other make as well; he loved them all, and he enjoyed meeting and greeting all the car folks who dropped by to visit him and see his collection.
Zeb Morris lived and shared his newfound passion for five years until he passed away at the age of 72. A friend recently remarked, “If Zeb had lived another few years, he would have built another building and filled that one up too. He always had a good time with his cars.”
Mecum Auctions is honored to present the Zeb Morris Collection at Dana Mecum's Original Spring Classic Auction 24th Year, May 17-22, 2011 at the Indiana State Fairgrounds, Indianapolis, IN.
