Grand Automotive...

[PxTx]

I started out wondering about GRAND AUTOMOTIVE because of this picture:



I'm sure a bunch of your Chicago guys will chime right in, but I would love to know more about who made up Grand Automotive and any stories you can share.





Help this East Coast kid out.

Thanks!

Still not clear on who/what they were. Retail Speed Shop, Tuning Garage, Drag Racers? Who were the Heroes who made up Grand?

I used to buy day-2 stuff there for my chevelle when I was in High school. Weiand air foam air cleaner, valve covers, etc.. I was too young and stupid to remember more details, now I'm old and stupid.

I believe a Speed Shop. Tony Christian was killer in Modified Eliminator. Not sure if Grand Auto was doing the motors or Reher-Morrison. Maybe both.

They were on Washington ave I think in Waukegan IL right by the high school, trying to read the address on the Camaro from the picture Jon posted, it was a speed shop for sure not sure if they did anything else or not. They also got a lot of my money.
