Larry Menard worked for his family's chain of home improvement stores for over half a century and was a member of the board of directors when he died in 2019 at 74.

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.
