Who made these valve covers?

Hopefully in 5 years it was straightened out for you but,,,,,
A / fx (Factory experimental)
B / fx
C/ fx

Classes were based on weight / cubic inches.

 

I’ll ask this question again... who made/sold the Pro Stock ones? I’ve been told Penney’s sold those also, but obviously the info posted earlier says the A/FX line was Penney’s.

 

Maybe J.C. Penny's should start selling this stuff again to help pull them back out of the hole they're in? I had a pair of J.C. Penny slicks once; bought them used from a friend. Don't remember what happened to them.

Jacques Penne was actually a well known racer from back in the day and manufactured his own performance parts. Here is a rare photo of him behind the wheel.

 

Nice conversation piece. When someone walks by, stops and ask. And then you tell them. I like to see the expression on their face....Did you say J. C. Penny ?

30 years of collecting these valve covers scored my 3rd set. Added bonus , also scored the rare JCPenny tach as well. Hot Rodding has all of us looking for that individual must have one thing. Funny how that works. Thanks

 

10,000 RPM tachs are cool, I love 'em even though most of the street guys buying them never saw the north side of 8K.

 

Still play with vintage A/FX slot cars.....

 

He also has a line of spaghetti sauce. LOL.

 

Don't know who made them, but does anybody maybe remember "Pro Stock" branded items being sold thru the Nationwise store chain? Valve covers, air cleaners, maybe even wheels ? ? ?

 

Ah, yes. The famous Penne pasta family. One of the biggest spaghetti farmers in Europe.

 

And father penne, directing workers to pre-planned planting locations......

 

He musta been Italian......

 

Pro/Stock valve covers were sold by Gratiot Auto Supply. My brother worked there in the late 70 's and had them on his OT car.
Just checked: They are listed in Gratiot catalog #17 from 1977.

 

I was under the impression that A F/X referred to
A/ Factory Experimental? Thats what the BE THERE
radio adds were touting when promoting the Bi weekly
shows at Laplace Dragway It meant the touring
early funny cars with steel main bodies were coming to
town! Great show they put on!
