Demmer Tool & Die - SuperCar Builder
On page 10 of MCR Nov 2001 there is a small article about Demmer Tool & Die in Lansing Michigan finding the vin numbers of the 515 1968 Hurst Olds they built. This includes 3 convertibles. Great news for the Olds fans. I wonder what else they have. Demmer Tool & Die was a company that built body stamping dies and special machines for the Detroit auto industry. John Demmer was also a drag racer who raced a 66 442 called "the Rectifier". Demmer had a huge facility with a lot a fabrication equipment and was contracted by Hurst to build the Hurst Olds, the Hemi Darts and Barracudas, the AMC Super stocker, some of the Yenko Deuce Novas, and other cars. I guess some of the factories had Demmer do the short run production cars like the ones required by NHRA. I have a few old articles showing some of these cars being built. One article shows a guy picking up his new 68 Hemi Dart and behind him is about 50 more new Hemi Darts and Barracudas. Anyone have any more info on Demmer?
