Re: [Chrysler300] Request for Keikhaefer car

Carlton and Angelo:

The only Kiekaefer car with which I'm familiar belongs to Jack Boxtrom with RM auctions. It is the 300B that Bob Valpey in Center Harbor, New Hampshire restored and owned for a few years. Bob sold it back to Jack Boxtrom for Jack to take it to Goodwood a few years ago. The last I heard, this authentic Kiekaefer 1956 300B was stored at the Ford Museum in Dearborn, MI and is occasionally put on display there. A few years ago Ford displayed it at the Hilton Head Concourse. The last time I saw Jack Boxtrom was at Road Atlanta a few years ago and he reminded me that I would never have enough money to buy this Kiekaefer 300B from him!.

Good luck!

Hello,
Angelo Van Bogart, the Editor of Old Cars Weekly, has always been helpful and supportive to our Club about promoting our meets, and of course they are located in Iola, WI at the site of the Iola Car Show many of us attend.
In communicating with Angelo about our 2015 Spring and Fall meets Angelo asked about the owners of any of the Kiekhaefer race cars:

“Also, I am hoping you can help point me in the right direction. We are featuring "Pace Cars and Race Cars" at the 2015 Iola show. I would like to get an original Kiekhaefer 300 at the show since Kiekhaefer was local to Wisconsin. Do you happen to know if one survives and the contact info of the owner? I would like to offer them an invitation to attend.
Thank you for any help you can provide!
Angelo”

If anyone knows the whereabouts and owner (and contact info) of a Kiekhaefer race car please reply to Angelo, and I’m sure the rest of us would also like to know.
Thanks,
