The history of the name "Hotrod"


RVM Classics is near downtown Madison. Richard Munz and his partner Jim Busby have assembled a great collection of historic hotrods and automobiles. The building has been superbly restored by Richard. In the "day" it functioned as a Taxicab company. It is a concrete building two stories tall, plus the basement. There are circular ramps that allow cars to be driven both up and down from the main level. Home of the Tommy Foster 1932 Ford Hot Rod roadster.

Many of these rare vintage race cars either won or placed well in numerous renowned events such as the Grand Prix, Le Mans, Morris Park, Briarcliff Cup, Daytona Beach, Gordon Bennett Cup, Empire Track at Yonkers, Sheepshead Bay, Indianapolis, Mille Miglia among others.
