Re: J.C. Penny Speedshop
Back around 1981 or '82 I had purchased rear window louvers for my '74 Z from Penny's through their catalog. Did they stop selling automotive stuff and if so when?

Re: J.C. Penny Speedshop
Another shot. I thought it was a 2-door post car, but now I know.

Re: J.C. Penny Speedshop
A guy in my hometown built a hot '55 Chevy back in '68 and the local Penny's had a Lifetime battery deal going on. I think they wanted you to bring in the car and they would check out other things like the brakes, exhuast etc to drum up business. Of course people only kept their new cars back then 4-5 years and Penny's probaly did not figure into the equation antique cars or street machines the owners would hang onto. Of course the '55 was imaculate and well maintained by my friend. He would take the car in every 4-5 years and get a new battery as needed. When Penny's dropped the local service center in the early '80's he was out of luck and had to start buying his batteries.

Re: J.C. Penny Speedshop
Article says the car began life with a 426 Wedge and the guys put the Hemi in. No doubt they swapped-in the "Hemi" A/FX-style 2-headlight grille too.

Bill
I really like that Picture of the "Penny Pincher" because it hits home with me growing up here. Can I get a Color copy of it somewhere?
