1960 and newer in stock?

Bill,

For the record, "Rossi Transmissions" was owned by Tony Rossi, not Paul Rossi. I can hardly imagine any more dissimilar personalities than Tony Rossi and Paul Rossi. Tony's business was an adjunct to a regular transmission shop located on Holt Boulevard in Pomona. A regular contributor to this forum "Da Kahuna" was a skinny high high school kid doing R&R work there in the early 70's when I first went there with Val Hedworth.

The Hydramatic sedan deliveries were long gone before 1970. I was out of touch for about a year and a half in 1968 and 1969 due to being up to my neck in graduate school and I don't have all the timeline at my fingertips but I recall John Barkley winning the Winternationals in his PG equipped "A-1 Transmissions" '57 Chevy in 1968. I think the Hydros were gone before 1968. If I've missed that date, I'm sure that Tony Janes will recall specifically.

Highest regards,

c
