Is Johnnys still in business?

If so anyone have a Phone #

Johnny's is long, long gone.

Thanks for the quick reply, Old Guy.

If you were shopping for deals, back in the late 70's early 80's A company called "Valley Core" or Valley *****" as there competitor's referred to them as, sold brand new Kadron kit's for $99 on sale and if you bought 10 sets of Mahle P&C's, $29/set. Johnny's speed & Chrome was right in that era.

Don't forget Small Car Specialties.

Never got to visit JSC, but I did visit Car Custom in I think it was 1998, on a college road trip. Visited them as well as Kymco. Good times, as I'd never seen such huge showrooms before.

Thank Rick, I never heard that one. He was quite a business man. The Huey family lived down the street from us in La Habra. One of his sons, Kerry, was in a rock-n-roll band with me back in the '60s. His other son, (his name I forget), was in a wheelchair, but drove a, 11-second 440 Dodge with hand controls!

I have a vitoloni mirror in the garage with a johnny's sticker on it
