Hey guys:
Just looking at the pictures of the 32 DeVaux at Hershey, promoted by the Reinke's. In looking at the other pictures, in the picture of the 2 Mercer's , is that Frank Witkowski looking on from the right?
That DeVaux sure is a sharp looking car.

Hi All:

The day I saw the post on www.prewarcar.com I called Howard's son in Michigan to chat for a bit. He said he was 18 when he went with his dad and Myron to get the car in Nevada. He feels it has came full circle.
I talk to Forrest (Chip) Sweet (now in Texas) off and on and he said he restored the 32 in the Grand Rapids Museum. That car was in a garage fire in the New England area I believe. (Gord, I think that car is the one that we talked about some time ago that was in a black and white picture taken at a car show.)
Chip brought two 32 sedans out of California to use for parts. There is a 3rd 32 convertible that was setting in a fishing village 250 Kms from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I have a picture the owners son sent to me some years back.
I think George Ferris did restore a 31 sedan. That might be the one that was sold to Jeff Cromeens and now is in the J.and R. Museum in Rio Rancho, N.M. www.jrvintageautos.com.
Now back to the 2 32 sedans that chip used for parts. One of them, a 32 Custom sedan, was completed by him and sold to a man in Texas. He sold it a man that (when he passed)it went to his son....and then stripped of running gear to rod. That car now is in Minnesota. That is the only 32 Custom Sedan known. There is only one 32 Standard sedan known and that is tucked away in Michigan.
There are 3 32 Standard coupes that I know of. Dave has one, one in N.J. and one with a chopped top and no running gear in Penn.
There is one 32 Custom coupe that is somewhere in Eastern Oregon/close to the Idaho border. I do have a picture.
