Courtesy Chevrolet was owned by Ed Fitzgerald, of Phoenix Arizona. He also owned or franchised the multiple Courtesy dealerships in California during his sponsorship of the Dick Harrell Performance Center. I understand all of the converted or modified vehicles from Dick's shop, sold by Courtesy, were shipped through the Phoenix location, on the way to California.

Phoenix was the main location of one of the AHRA Winternationals (hot cars) from 1968 on at BeeLine. This is around the beginning of the time Ed Fitzgerald started his association with Dick. I think Tom's '68 AA/FC is the first Courtesy sponsored vehicle Dick drove.
