How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
After buying a 1963 Split Window Corvette coupe in 1967 and then being laid off from running engine test dynomometers at Chevrolet Engineering in 1970, I started my own business and never looked back! I never thought we would accumulate so many Corvette and Chevy parts! In the Detroit area, we have many sources for new parts and plenty of wrecked and otherwise damaged cars to purchase.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
We are the only Corvette business that stocks tons of parts including thousands of original Chevrolet engine components and who also does service on these vehicles and their parts. We stock new, used, rebuilt, restored and restoration parts and accessories for all years of Corvettes.
