    Rik,
    I appreciate the timely e-mail response to my inquiry about Charlie Lopez's custom Merc. What you have done here with this site is wonderful. It's more than an electronic preservation of the custom world; it's an overwhelming step into another world, past , present...and future. Such as I have already done here several times, it's great to see other folks are once again crossing paths with customs from their earlier years. In the two months since I've found your archives, I've become a diehard, steadfast fan.
    It's obvious to all of us visitors that you are a dedicated and hardworking individual; keep up the wonderful work. I've already shared your site with a dozen other enthusiasts.
    KUSTOMS ROCK!

      Looking for Dave Engemann who bought a mini racer from Art Millard many years ago.  I am Arthur's daughter.  We found a letter from you to dad and I'm trying to see if there is any information I can get on the race car.
      Thanks Mary

    Rik, I had a '36 5 window in 1950. Best little car I ever owned. Bought from a neighbor lady who drove it from Minneapolis to Denver twice yearly. I was a real Cherry. Sold it in 1953 while I was in the Army and while I was only making $75.00 per month. Ran out of money needed to maintain and drive a car.

    What a site! Thanks for a place for all us car crazy people to go to see such a wonderful collection. I have owned one of Harry Bradley's designs for the past 20 years. With the help of Dan Strohl at Hemmings Motor News, I now can confirm what the car is. It looks simular to the drawings on page 152 and 154. It is called the Baron. Thanks again, tim moe
