Late Menards board member's massive classic American car collection up for auction
Fox News
A classic car collection owned by the late Larry Menard of the Menards store chain is being auctioned in Wisconsin. Among them are a rare 1963 Chevrolet Corvette and 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air.
The vehicles, which he kept in perfect condition in a private museum at his home, range from the 1930s to 1960s and reflect his fondness for American brands.
Among the dozens of lots are a 1946 Dodge pickup with the Menards logo on it that was used for promotional events and a rare 1963 Chevrolet Corvette fuel-injected split-window coupe with its numbers-matching engine and 70,000 miles on the odometer.
There are also eight 1950s Chevrolets, with the standout being a fully-restored black 1957 Bel Air Convertible with a fuel-injected engine that was nearly turned into a customization project by its former owner, Jesse James, before Menard purchased it.
