02/05/05 Walter Onora I remember this modified. Orginally, it was driven by Sonny Strupp and Lee Hendrickson, mainly at Nazareth. Tas drove it at Flemington. It was sold to Pat Wohlgemuth, who repainted and renumbered it his signature (the #168 light blue and white). I believe the original owners were Mesler towing.
02/05/05 PacFamily405 Yes, Mesler's garage out of Morristown, NJ was the home for this car. I actually had the owners wife, who will be forever known as Mrs. Mesler for a class in 8th grade.
04/15/06 Larry Ferraiuolo Yes, thats correct, Freddy Meslers car. His first driver was sonny Strupp. He came down our shop alot and I believe most of the ideas for this car was copied from our first coupe #73.
09/13/07 3-Wide Note: Thanks to Frank Atterbury who provided the correct spelling for "Wohlgemuth!" above.
09.01.16 TheKidGriff Yes, the car was owned by Mesler who owned an Amoco station on Morris Street in Morristown.  Ridgedale Ave. would have T-boned into the station.  And yes, the car was repainted white with the #39.  When Tasnady retired Pat Wog, Sr. bought the car and it was renumbered #168.  The car was fast and handled well, but unfortunately Pat wrecked it early on, I believe on the back stretch at Flemington.  Perhaps his son John Wog could provide more details and information.  That car is framed and to the left.  The other picture is of Pat in the early 60's.  I do not know who took these pictures, I acquired them from either Ace Lane, Jr. or Bruce Craig.
