1996 - Outstanding New

Black & White Catalog of the Year

Runner-up. Hey, out of 300 entries, 2nd place isn’t too shabby. We do our own catalogs - photos, verbiage, layout, production - everything but the actual printing.

2001 - Nominee

SRMA's Best Dealer of the Year

No, we didn’t win. We were just nominated - as one of the 5 best for the year in the Street Rod Marketing Alliance, later renamed the Hot Rod Industry Alliance. We are known for our manufacturing but we do carry a selection of - what we consider to be - the best from other manufacturers. We aren’t a big warehouse distributor. So when we carry someone else’s parts, you can be sure that we feel they are the best available.

2003 - Winner of SRMA's Business of the Year Award!

One of the proudest moments of our lives. Standing in the Las Vegas Hilton Ballroom accepting this award just before they pres-ented Billy Gibbons of ZZ-Top with the Life TIme Achievement Award. Oh well... if you’ve got to be upstaged by someone, who better than Billy Gibbons?

2003 - Winner of the NSRA's Manufacturer of the Year Award!

Let’s just top off the year by being the National Street Rod Association’s Manufacturer of the Year. That’s Bob Reynolds presenting the award at the Nats in Louisville, KY to a very appreciative couple. Thanks Bob. Thanks NSRA. And especially, thanks to all of our customers who really determine whether or not you are the real deal.

2008 - Winner - NSRA's Best Safety Related Product of the  Year Award!

The “TattleTale” - it makes your brake lights pulse under panic stop conditions. It really gets the attention of the guy/gal behind you who just happens to be talking on their cell phone at that critical instant when you are slamming on the brakes. Very inexpensive insurance against one of the most frequent and deadly accidents - the rear end collision.

2001 - Runner Up - NSRA's Best Safety Related Product of the  Year Award!    Our #L61 Billet Pedestal LED 3rd Brake Light with Turn Signals was, and still is, unique in the industry. It’s hand assembled down to the LED board right here in Bozrah, CT

2008 - Nominee

HRIA's Business of the Year

It is so very gratifying to be nominated for this award because it comes from, and is chosen by, our fellow businesses in the industry. To be selected one of the 5 finalists among over 300 businesses makes us very, very proud. Thanks, everyone, for your support and recognition.

2009 - Winner - NSRA's Best Safety Related Product of the  Year Award!

Our “HotSlot” Flush Mount LED Taillights with Separate Amber Turn Signals, #L58RACL. Each light has 40 Super Bright red LED’s for the taillights and brake lights plus 12 Super Bright amber LED’s for the turn signals. Cool stuff.
