Brahms Chevrolet, Palisades Park NJ

[dtook]

Hello Carleen , Most everything is accurate . Robert Parnicky was my boss until his unexpected death . He indeed deserves credit for convincing ownership to invest heavy in high performance inventory . At that point I took over as parts manager . Mr Brahms first name was Samual . The race boat builders business name was Elizabeth Fabrication and they bought a ton of big block hardware . The owners prior to Wallick ( Apple Chevrolet )and after Brahms were Albrizio ( Albrizio Chevrolet ) Yes , long tall John Kelch was a master mechanic . I went above and beyond the call many times to get him his parts . Gasoline Alley ( Paterson NJ ) as it was known
home to J & J , Huff , Simonak were some of the best engine builders and machine services around . Before the building was torn down , I purchased the vertical double sided porcelain neon Chevrolet sign that then went to Bob Caruso a long time customer and former owner of Corvette Country of Alpine NJ and current owner of Billy Bobs Fast Expensive Cars in Jackson Township NJ.

I know bob caruso very well,as well as his partner bob russo. Great guys.I bought my 67 maroon/ tan 427 Conv. Vette from bob. He still has his 66 coupe behind his shop. He put a ls7 in it and almost lost his life when he lost control under high speed. He talked to Zora about the crash and he told him the cars were not able to handle 600 hp. It’s quite a sight to see the car’s destruction and see bob still with us.

Iuzi78, Thank you for this reply. You must also know Bob Caruso had a
second near fatal accident ( no fault of his own )
other than being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Enjoy the sweet 67
