Re: For Sale: 1931 DeVaux Coupe in Eau Claire, WI

Hi: Your Grandfather was (I think ) Harry Hoy. He was a former DeVaux dealer. I have maintained the DeVaux Registry for many years. My records indicate he was the original owner.
When Matt contacted me about the car for sale, I was unable to consider buying it because of medical reasons.
The car has gone thru 2 other owners and now is in a private collection in Southern California.
Contact me if you want more information. Thanks, garyyelle@msn.com.

Re: For Sale: 1931 DeVaux Coupe in Eau Claire, WI

Gary - thanks for the info. Grandpa had a number of cars, including one he designed and fabricated himself, so I was unsure of the provenance of the Devaux. Which is OK - I had only stumbled across this thread while looking for something completely unrelated, but the previous posters story was interesting. Good to know Grandpa's Devaux dates back further - i was pretty sure it did, as by the late 70's he was out of full scale restoration work and was more of a noodler. And it gives me hope that somewhere out there Carl Sandburg's Devaux that the previous commenter is on the hunt for is waiting to be rediscovered and hasn't been painted over!
