Exact recreation of the legendary Hollywood Motors emblem - the race / hop-up shop run by Max Balchowsky and his wife Ina throughout the 1950s and early 60's. This was the place where deep into the night Balchowsky built his superbly engineered 'junkyard' creations, the most famous being his 'Old Yeller' cars that famously put Maseratis Ferraris and Scarabs to the sword on road races throughout California in the fifties and early sixties. An authentic vintage race / rod look, and one for the true Hot Rod enthusiast who really knows his or her race car history.

Tom Beatty was a dry lakes racer who later became a speed shop owner. There were a number of speed manufacturers during the 1950s producing racing cams, heads, etc. and Tom worked for a number of them and truly honed his craft. Tom Beatty Automotive Engineering made all kinds of engines for all kinds of go-fast applications, so whether you were breaking records at Bonneville, tearing up the quarter mile in Fremont, or forcing buddy to hang on for dear life at Lake Elsinore, Tom was your guy. From manifolds to superchargers, Tom made it to his exacting specifications which resulted in engines that ran stronger and pulled harder than anything the big name builders were making.

Last thing you what to do is let the ol' flathead run dry during a speed run, so give it some love with a little old school hot rod lube!

Speed-O-Motive got their start manufacturing custom pistons for flathead racing engines, but eventually began distributing speed parts and offering high-performance engine rebuild kits for pretty much every V8 application out there. If you couldn't swing by their Los Angeles area shop, you could mail order your parts, even complete engines after they begin offering turn key balanced and blueprinted crate racing engines. These crate strokers all ran Speed-O-Motive racing pistons, and the rest of the build leveraged top shelf goodies from other manufacturers.

A lot of folks know Carl's Speed Shop as a Daytona Beach motorcycle go fast landmark, but up until 1996, Carl called Whittier, California home. They say that location is everything, and this was especially true as Carl's namesake founder spent a lot of time making American iron faster and more powerful and when he wasn't turning wrenches, he was at the SoCal drag strips or out on the salt flats twisting the throttle and setting speed records.

E. E. Lohn. Co., or EELCO, was founded in 1956 in Inglewood, California and started out specializing in hardware for hot rods and dry lake racers. They eventually had a whole line of speed parts, but many remember them for their fuel tanks and fuel delivery hardware among other things.

Like a lot of people in post-war America, Al Jerauld was an avid hot rodder looking for go fast thrills. He opened Jerauld's Speed Shop in the late '40s in National City, California. From catalog speed parts to many of his own creation, Jerauld's Speed Shop was the go-to spot in the San Diego area for go fast goodies. When he wasn't selling parts and installing them on customer cars, Al was a dry lakes racer who built and campaigned several cars over the years. One such lakester was the infamous Baby Bomb, which sported a destroked and sleeved '37 V8-60 Flathead with a tiny 88.75 cubic inch displacement that managed to turn some impressive speeds. Among Jerauld's many custom designed performance parts, many are still highly prized today.

Soul. The soul of any adventure isn’t found in the apex moment when you reach the summit after a long, arduous mountain climb. It’s not found at the tail-out of a class-5 rapid after finding that perfect line through. Nor is the soul of an adventure found in that moment when you hoist a trophy-size trout in that distant, foreign land. Soul is found in the journey… it’s found in the chase.
