Re: Royal info wanted
In answeer to your questions. It was pretty hard for Dick to hire anyone. He was not the GM. McQueen was. Nor was Dick the new car manager. Dick Was the High performance salesman. Chuck Broomfield was the only mechinic initially doing the Bobcat conversions. Than later came Dave and Sid Warren. I know you have no idea how small Royal was in comparison to todays dealerships. YES I DID KNOW AND DO KNOW THESE gentleman.es I was around the dealership. Since you like books, I'm sure you most own Jim Wangers Book "Glory Days." Turn to the Introduction chapter and read the introdution paragraph. Find my name? Next time you watch Speed Channel's "MuscleCars" Hurst segment you'll find my name in the credits. If you get the History Channel segment "History of the Automobile, The Firebird" My family is in it and I am in the credits. I'm sure you don't however get the BBC's Jeremy Clarkston's show I'm in his film and credits for the "Deroit's Auto Industry." SO,NO MY KNOWLEDGE IS NOT BASED ON SOME FANTISY BOOK YOU READ. The books you read did not interview Dick Jesse, he's been dead a good 20 years. Ace Jr. since about 1989 Ace Sr. about 10 years. Yes, I do also Know Mac McKellar, Jack "Doc" Watson, John Sawruk and JIm Mattison to name a few who you may have heard of. Mine is not opion but based on first hand knowledge. You can read more of my resume on other posting.
