I even remember when H. C. was on McCallie Ave across from Warner Park.    I went to high school with H.C. daughter  Ann Card who drove a '32 5 window B-model Ford with a big bad ass Flat Head V-8.  She married Bob Esbey(?) and their Son Charlie's wife work for me when I had my VW shop.
     I have a H.C. catalog from way back when it was about 2" wide 8" tall and maybe 10 pages somewhere in my pile.  Ah, those were the days and boy do I miss them :cry:  :cry:

You're thinking of Luann Espy.  My sales manager here at HC is Joe Lombardo.  He said he knows you.

Said he remembered your shop Johnston & Sipe.  His sister Betsy was married to Rick.

Yes indeed.   Matter of fact Joe's Dad Tony was my very first customer after I had left the dealership and went to work at Kites VW.  Joe should remember his Dad's old black '60 Bug :lol:    Be sure to say HI to Joe for me.

Joe says hey back to ya.  Said he remembers you pulling the 36hp out and putting in a 40hp.  That car became his after he worked all summer to save up $125 to buy the car from his mom.
