Description: With the post-war auto racing boom in full swing, the custom ignition business Chuck Potvin started in high school quickly outgrew his parent's garage. In 1948 Chuck purchased a corner shop and decked it out with cam grinders, a homemade master cam generator, a dynamometer, and several lathes and began crafting his own cam grinds that, like his ignition systems, found a sweet spot in the market. While he made countless models over the years, the most popular was the 425 Eliminator, the cam that the first car to break the 160 mph barrier was running.

Description: Back in the late '50s, hot rodders were increasingly attracted to newer cars making their way into junkyards, or more specifically, the OHV V8 engines they brought with them. An engine that made more power than their flathead V8's, was all too enticing, though the swap wasn't exactly straight forward. Of course, hot rodders were an ingenious bunch, and came up with all kinds of mounting solutions, but none of them were exactly great (or safe). Seeing a need, Hurst came out with their Adjusta-Torque engine conversion mount in 1960, promising a true bolt on solution for OHV engine swaps.
Description: Quincy's Auto Supply sat on the south side of Wilshire Blvd. in Santa Monica and started out as a muffler shop, but evolved into a comprehensive speed shop. They had lifts for muffler work, a speed equipment showroom, and even offered machining services such as boring and porting. Ray Alley was the muffler guy and did the porting work; he later became fairly famous as a top fuel wrench. The proprietor of the place was Bill Quincy Cox, hence the name of the business, and Quincy's had considerable credibility in the hot rod and racing scene through his sponsorships of some of the top drag racers and Bonneville competitors, most of whom set numerous records while flying the Quincy flag.
Description: The lubricant now known as STP has its roots in World War II, when German scientists developed a high-performance engine oil to support the demanding conditions faced by the German war machine. As the German Afrika Korps fought in the harsh desert environments of North Africa, their air-cooled 4-cylinder engines relied on this formulation to withstand extreme heat and friction, ensuring uninterrupted mobility across the African front.Following the war, the exact path of STP's original chemical synthesis to the U.S. remains unknown. However, like many German technological innovations from WWII, it likely arrived through post-war technology transfers, contributing to the advancement of engine lubrication and performance-enhancing additives in
Description: The Judson Research and Manufacturing Company of Pennsylvania got their start way back in 1880. Specializing in mechanical and electrical engineering, Judson developed products for farm equipment to improve performance.In the early '50s, the sons of the latest generation of Judsons were hot rod enthusiasts and began toying with sliding vane style superchargers. First created for the British sports cars and the venerable flathead V8, these bolt on supercharger kits quickly became popular with hobbyists and sold steadily. In 1956, the brothers designed a new kit for an increasingly popular German import that took the stock air cooled engine and doubled the horsepower. This is the product that changed the trajectory of Judson forever.
