Folks Of Interest Remastered & Updated - My 2013 Visit - Hot Rod Heaven in Madison, Wisconsin courtesy of Richard Munz

Thanks guys ...

I hope Mr. Munz will lean towards
preserving his collection
for the the Hot Rod World and
keep what remains together
for future generations to appreciate ....

Hopefully a museum is in his future plans

Saw an old friend there. The Tommy Foster 32 and I were both at the first Autorama in Detroit. My friend Tommy wound up living a few blocks from me in Florida before I retired to the Georgia Mts. I last saw his little roadster at the Turkey rod run in Daytona in the nineties when it was in the collection of Kirk White.
The Munz collection is the work of a true hotrodder.
Thanks for the memories and the posting.

 

Bumping this - it was a good day

Munz once owned the Coleman Coupe that I had the privilege of rebuilding . I knew he owned it at one time from the sign board that came with the car.

 

Unfortunately, Richard is dispersing his great collection. I am going to be a witness to the sale of his collection during the Mecum auction at Kissimmee on Friday, January 17, 2025

 

Here is the poster that came with the Coleman car when I purchased it.

 

Some of my rebuild photos of it . Before and after. [ATTACH[/ATTACH]

 

Thank you for sharing this unique opportunity with us. It is amazing that this could be in the control of one person.

 

Did I transport that for you
from his collection in 2013 ?

I went through my pictures
and couldn’t find any of me
loading the 1932 Ford that
I picked up that day …

I am glad you appreciated the thread

Mr. Richard Munz is an example of
what one person can do to preserve
history for posterity - fortunately
for all of us he chose Hot Rod History

No, I bought it out of Alabama private party.
I just realized my roadster was also once owned by Munz .

 

I didn’t think so - but that sure
is a coincidence …

mystery of what I transported
from Richard V. Muntz
in February of 2013 …
