A friend Steve Flett worked there with Mike.
When Dick bought the Corvette (see Mike's photo) it was white with Paul Blevins name on it, the '55 Nomad was parked there as well.
Back at the Speed Shop, Charlie Castaldo used to drop in among other racers. One memory I have was seeing the first Cragar Super Tricks and thinking how light they were.
Before Everett (M/SA Monte Carlo) became manager it was Ben Kaufman who was my friend Steve's brother in law and Ben was a Ford guy who had a '65 D/MP Ford Fairlane and also a matching street car with Moroso 7.60-15 all the was around! Those were the days!

Good morning to all,
Knowing most of us are " Pak Rats" I bought my first pair of Moroso 7.60 x 15 in 1975, ran them on my 55 Chevy, my 62 Impala bracket car and on my 69 Nova Stocker as well as Wayne Hopkins Stocker. They are upstairs in the garage now "resting". I still have my 7.10 x 15 Moroso that I bought when I built the Nova, and were in service many years/passes.
They are resting next to there Big Brothers up stairs as well.
The both sets still hold air when I've needed measure or check certain things. It is nice to see that a Quality product is still made and lasts. The " Moroso " sticker is proudly displayed on my race car and tool box.
Respectfully,
