LOL Bill!

From his obituary: <span style="font-style: italic">&quot;Al requested no flowers, plants, trinkets and trash be sent for his service.&quot; </span>

Can you just hear him saying that?!

We met at Classic Motors in Chicago in 1977 when he came down to look at a 1957 Chev 2-door wagon, 283/283/C-R 3-speed with 2200 miles if I remember correctly. We have been friends ever since. He loved going over to the Cape and hanging with you guys. Used to tell me about those trips all the time. Al has run thru more rare muscle and HP parts than probably any one guy on earth. That hat of his that he wore at every Carlisle I ever went to should be bronzed. R.I.P. Al, a whole bunch of us will miss you........Bill S </div></div>

Along with his sign.......&quot;Honest, I ain't makin' a dime&quot;

An Icon and friend that I will miss.
As I am sure many others will also.

Al was indeed a car guy to the bone and his collection of parts was nothing short of incredible and as stated, the list of rare muscle cars that he owned over the years would just blow you away. I had the pleasure of working with Al on the Detroit Autorama judging staff also for many years.

RIP, Al!

I really liked Al. I met him in the early 70s at Kustom Equipment, here in Flint. I was at his place a few years back buying parts for my 70 Z28 and took some pics of the 68 Z28 Camaro convert that was built for Pete Estes. He had a butternut 67 Z at the same time. He was an avid gun collector too. He showed me a pistol that he said is the one that killed Pres Lincoln.Like was already said, his basement is chocked full of treasures. I'm going to miss him.
