Had great dealings with Mr. Menge. Sold me a matched set of buffalo wire wheels, 5 serial numbers in a row. They are on our merc speedster. Sold me a Ricardo head, and then returned my $$ because he found a very small crack in it. He was an honest, old school car nut. Enjoy the old cars in heaven, Wilber!

. I
will never forget the story of Wilbur's family model T who as I recall his
grandfather bought for 2$ in 1932. It was a salvaged 21' chassis, a
roadster I believe. I have pics of it somewhere. Of course they built a
pine huckster body on it and Wilbur was driving it to the French market by
the time he was about 10 to sell the produce his family grew.
