Anybody know where I could find history information on C&O transmission. The C stands for Gene Ciambella, what is the O for? How the company started and the general history. Thanks,
O'Brien I think. I remember going to the shop a few times w/ Steve Korney (Goldfinger). Inglewood, Ca as I remember. Hydro choice at time (mid-60's)and later focused on Torqueflite combination
It was definitely in inglewood near the Big Donut on Manchester. I had one of a their hydros in my Chevy II in 1963. I helped their A/G supercharge Austin pickup. I can't remember who the O stands for but I'm sure Mike Cook will. I saw their pickup run a 8.95 on a Sunday at Lions before any one had run in the 9's in A/GS but they never got the credit. Sure fun to watch
A 58 I used to own with a "348", 280HP and a C&O 4 speed Hydro installed in 1964. I found the receipt for the trans in the glove box, and the trans had a C&O decal on it.
