Edelbrock: Made in the USA

From the board tracks to the dry lakes, to the modern manufacturing facilities of Edelbrock Corporation today, this beautiful, hard bound book tells the history of the performance aftermarket industry as it unfolds around Vic Edelbrock Sr. and many other pioneers of performance. Names like Wally Parks, Alex Xydias, Ed Iskendarian and Ed Pink are intertwined in the story about the beginnings of the Edelbrock Equipment Company in the late 1930s.

Veteran automotive journalist, Tom Madigan, spent three years interviewing these pioneers, traveling with the Edelbrock family and researching the history of not only the industry but of racing in Southern California. The story begins with Vic Sr.’s family and their journey to California from Kansas, then quickly transcends into the stories that spawned a giant performance industry. Finishing with a tribute to wife of Vic Jr., Nancy Edelbrock, this book spans the decades through the good times and the bleak times of the automotive timeline. Weighing in at 5 lbs., “Edelbrock: Made in USA” is loaded with photos that have never been seen by the public until now. Collected from several hundred sources, original photographs came from Wally Parks, the personal archives of Vic Edelbrock Jr., past employees, friends of the Edelbrock family and many more. Photographs came straight from the bulletin board of Vic Sr.’s club, the Roadrunners. In fact, the original tacks were still hanging on in some cases!
