Default Edelbrock Vic's Garage Last Visitor

So this past Wednesday on my way back home from dropping a friend off at LAX, I decided to stop by classic industries and pick up a few parts, and then stop by Edelbrock and see if I could get a deal on basically anything. Lol
Turns out you can't buy anything there...only from dealers.

Anyways, while I was there I figured I'd check out their collection of cars and such and I was just fortunate enough to walk in before the guy locked the place up for good. I had no idea, I didn't read or see anything about this place closing its doors. It was kind of sad as there was no crowd, nothing. Just real quiet and me in the place.

I would have thought that such a place would've considered holding a last car show or something in memory and respect... I'm so glad I got to check the place out, just wish I could've had more time and maybe even sit in some of the cars before they get stored/sold.

I would have thought his daughter would keep it open. Doesn't she have a major role within the company?

Glad you were fortunate enough to be able to see it before it closed.

She's been running it for many years.

Thanks Andrew. I thought that was the case but just didn't know off hand.
