New Arrivals!
Christmas in March! We had the snow so we might as well get presents! Welcome our newest additions! A beautiful 1925 Renault Model 45 and a 1939 Midget Racer built for William Clay Ford for his 14th birthday! No telling how long these newbies will be on the museum floor so be sure to see them while they are here!
I am the mechanic who did 80-90% of the restoration on the midget racer while I was working at Hyman Ltd. I was very proud of that 1. I have additional pictures of it during restoration that you didn’t get. Would also very much like to keep track of it, where it’s shown especially if it goes to pebble beach or changes hands. I know it probably won’t happen but I would like the credit for the work. The 25 Renaut was 1 of my girls, she got a hard wrap from everyone that worked there but I loved her and she always treated me good, even when we argued. Anyway thank you for your time reading this I hope to hear back.
Sincerely,
Matt Voelker
Matt,
Sorry for the delay. We still have the Midget Racer and the Renault here at the museum. The racer hasnt been run but we have run the Renault and have had some issues, maybe she only likes you 🙂 The Renault will possibly be going to Hershey in June.
