Weber Pins and Buttons
Description: In 1969 NASA knew that if they were going to try to make a Moon landing that they would have to bring a grill to the Moon. The Saturn V was equipped with a Weber Statesman kettle. The Apollo 11 mission was set to go and Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin did indeed land on the moon that incredible day in July. The first order of business after planting the American flag, was to fire up the kettle and cook a few hot dogs to bring back to Mike Collins on the Lunar Orbiter. Thus becoming the first grillers on the Moon, and Weber was there...
Description: Weber Speed Equipment started out in 1945 as Weber Tool Company, making some of the first aluminum performance fly wheels. As the company continued to expand their speed parts catalog with cams, clutches, and heads, becoming increasingly popular with hot rodders and racers alike, they changed their name to Weber Speed Equipment. Aside from making high quality, extreme high-performance parts, one of their biggest claims to fame was their 'blow up proof' guarantee on their flywheels, something that was a big draw to those pushing higher horsepower and revs in the early days of drag racing.
