J.C.Whitney- SOLD!
04 08 10 - 07:22 Roy Warshawsky may be turning over in his grave. Warshawsky's (Whitney) has been a Chicago institution inside the collector car & truck hobby for decades. When the new catalogs hit the mail box, I used to be amazed at the good quality name brand stuff you'd occasionally see there. As of late, the catalog seems to be peppered with junk from China.The future of the iconic brand remains in doubt, because the new owners, US Auto Parts, purchased the JCW in order to absorb the company's $10mm distribution hub & $15mm of inventory & expand their network. US Auto Parts is a large player in the e-tail aftermarket of today, so the JCW brand itself may have little value for them. Personally, I'll miss the catalogs.
