Hey guys, anyone know who this may be ? Or how I could trace the owners of this old company ? I got a PDF from Hilborn, and the old injector set up I acquired was sent to this shop.. Race Car Company. 8271 E. Shiloh Tucson, Ariz .. Shipped - 9 / 29 / 64 Thanks ...
Doing a Google street view search of that address in Tucson just results in a house in the middle of a regular subdivision. So it looks like it must have been one guy working on the side who is probably 6 feet under by now. The generic name may be made up for no more than a couple jobs. I think you have a 54 year old cold trail. But maybe your post will jog somebody's memory of the house, address or old timer with the right skill set.(?)
Thanks Shift Wizard, your right, maybe a cold trail, but you just never know, especially with this many hot rodders on one forum . Thanks for the Google street view search ..
When I think of Tucson I think of the Speed Sport gang, Lyle Fisher, Red Greth and Don Maynard. Could be a connection there, who knows?
Could have actually been someone building cars in the garage at the time or someone who got himself a business license in that name so he could buy parts at a discount. Even then most outfits wanted your business license number and an order on your letterhead paper before giving decent discounts. I'm not sure how long Squirrel has been in Tuscon but he may have some input on it.
Call Don Sr at Don's Hot Rod Shop and ask him. 520-884-8892 Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Ermie was from Arizona, Phoenix, I think, He moved to California but also had a place in Arizona. Might be it.
