As far as we know...the ownership history on the "MISTER ED" Dart:

Ed Knesevich (Columbus, OH)(Ed bought the Dart from Grand-Spaulding Dodge)
Frank Madden (Greenup, KY)
Tony Chickery (NY)
Frank Yokem (CT?)
Frank Dudash (MI)
Terry Thurman) (MI)
Norbert Knorr (MI)

Does anyone know Mrs. Knesevich, Frank Madden, Frank Yokem, or Mrs. Dudash?

I found this old post thru a random google search about my grandfather. My Grandfather, Frank Madden, owned Mister Ed. I have a picture of him racing it, but it is too large to upload. I will try to size it down some more. My grandfather died in 2010 after battling Parkinson’s disease. In his final stages with dimentia, he still talked about building race cars all the time. I will ask my mom for more info about this particular car if you’d like.
